London & South East local peer support group

Metro Blind Sport is a London based charity creating fun, accessible sport and social activity opportunities for people who are blind or partially sighted, of all ages and abilities. Established in 1973 by a group of passionate blind and partially sighted individuals keen to break down barriers to sports participation, the organisation has a current membership base of approximately 200 and offers opportunities to get involved in a wide variety of sports, primarily located within Greater London.

In addition to core sports, which include Archery, Athletics, Bowls, Cricket, Football, Tennis and Swimming, Metro Blind Sport plays a vital role in the provision of information about wider sporting opportunities to members and the extended blind and partially sighted community. The charity also supports many other sporting initiatives through partnerships with a vast array of community providers.

Rory will be talking about his background and becoming a Vision Impaired CEO, the variety of sport and activities Metro Blind Sport offers, their locations and timings, how people can find out more via their newsletter, social media or website etc. and how people can take part in something that interests them. Rory will also speak about the annual Metro games and details around this.

Please come along to hear from Rory to find out more about this great charity and how you could get involved. We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there.
