Between 2014 and 2017 Sport England is investing £296,636 in British Blind Sport to get more blind people playing sport. The funding will provide impairment-specific support to National Governing Bodies and deliver programmes designed to increase the number of blind people who regularly take part in sport. In addition, Sport England is investing over £90 million between 2013-17 in National Governing Bodies to get more disabled people playing sport through the delivery of inclusive and impairment-specific programmes, including programmes for blind people.
