To enable NCBI and Vision Sports Ireland to best support children, teens and adults who are blind or vision impaired to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, Vision Sports is continuing to work with the DCU School of Health and Human Performance to investigate health, physical activity and sports participation, and wellbeing of children and adults who are blind or vision impaired across Ireland.
This research will provide the first of its kind as a cross sectional baseline investigation and identify both key enablers and barriers to participation, and aims to support Vision Sports to ensure our services are effective and impactful, and increase sporting opportunities in your community.
As a token of our appreciation, Vision Sports also has a €100 voucher to Decathlon Ireland up for grabs! The winner of the voucher will be announced on October 31st 2022
