Blackburn Blind Sports Blind Sports Volunteer

Blackburn Blind Sports is looking for volunteers to support its weekly disability sport sessions, with the greatest need in goalball. Volunteers help with setting up the court, taping string to the sports hall floor, assembling and disassembling specialist goals, and making sure the session runs safely and smoothly for blind players.

The role can also include guiding players from taxis or cars into the building, helping them into the sports hall, collecting balls when they go out of play, and keeping time during games. Full support is provided, so no previous experience is needed and volunteers will be shown what to do.

You do not need to stay for the whole session if you can only help with the set-up.

Sessions run weekly across different sports, including strength and conditioning, goalball, blind football and blind baseball, at venues in Blackburn. This is a practical, hands-on volunteering opportunity for anyone interested in sport, disability inclusion and helping a local club create an accessible environment for its players.
