Sport Support for partially-sighted or blind children

Goalball is a sport specifically designed for blind and partially-sighted children and young people

Our donation of £5,000 will purchase football equipment for Goalball UK’s schools’ programme which aims to deliver goalball sessions to schools across the UK.

“This grant will allow us to support more children and young people who are blind or partially sighted to participate in sport and physical activity. It is well documented that this will also help with mental health.

”We are very grateful to the Axis Foundation who are supporting our mission for Goalball to empower people to live and play an active part in an inclusive society” –  Mark Winder, Chief Executive Officer at Goalball UK

Children and young people who are blind or partially sighted do not generally receive high quality PE at their schools. And Goalball UK aims to provide transformational opportunities so that they can now experience the challenge and joy of team-based sport.
