Each year a programme of events is planned across the whole range of sports. The charity receives no regular funding for these activities, and has to find every single penny. If you would like to help us by sponsoring or making a donation towards an event either for this year or in the future please contact the Fundraising Department on 01926 424247.
For example in 2006 the following events were funded with generous support from a range of companies, charitable trusts and foundations to whom we are indebted.
ARCHERY - Senior Coaching Weekend, Grassroots Coaching Weekend, National Indoor Championships
ATHLETICS - 3 Junior/Senior Training Weekends, Have a Go Day, Combined Events (Junior & Senior), National Junior & Senior Championships
CRICKET - 4 Development days, Knockout Cup, National Cricket League - UK wide
FOOTBALL - National Schools 5-a-Side Football Tournament, Football League – UK wide
GOALBALL - National Youth Squad training sessions, John Oakley Tournament, British Goalball Cup, National Youth Squad Summer Camp
SHOOTING - Have a Go Days, National Championships
TEN-PIN BOWLING - Have a Go Days, Winter League Finals, Summer Doubles League Final.
If we are in the fortunate position of having raised more funds than we actually need for an event, any surplus will be put towards the valuable day-to-day support the charity gives to visually impaired sportspeople everywhere.
