Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire are launching a new multi sports session for visually impaired children to be held monthly at Woodford Leisure Centre in Hull. The sessions are for children aged between 6 and 16 years old and will be delivered by GB Paralympic footballer Roy Turnham with assistant coach Rich McAlpine.
The Sessions aim to allow children to access specialist equipment and to participate in a variety of different sports and to help them to engage in activities in a safe environment where they can have freedom of movement and expression.
Parents and carers will need to stay on site during the session and there is a separate viewing area available. There will be limited places available so places will be given on a first come first served basis.
Roy said “I have experienced first-hand what incredible opportunities sport can bring to your life as a visually impaired person, not just competitive sport but meeting new friends and learning new skills which are useful in everyday life. I’m really excited to get started and share these experiences with the group”.
First Session
Date: Sunday 29th May 2022
Time: 10:00am until 12:00pm
Venue: Woodford Leisure Centre, Holderness Road, HU8 8JU
Price: £2 per child
Alison Stannard, Services Manager at Sight Support HEY said “We’re very excited to be able to offer these sessions which have been made possible by a very generous private donation. It’s really important that visually impaired children have the same opportunities to engage in sporting activities as every other child and we’re really looking forward to seeing how the sessions progress over time”.
