Sporting Activities

Sports and activities all over Scotland for veterans with visual impairments (VI)

Engaging in sports and activities is important for everyone, regardless of their age or disability. It improves both physical and mental health, boosts confidence and just makes people feel better about themselves.

At Sight Scotland Veterans, we do not see visual impairment as a barrier to sport and we want to show everyone what is possible; whether that is playing bowls, golf, archery the list goes on and on.

Regular physical activity is an important part of living well. People who lead an active lifestyle are more likely to live longer. Physical exercise builds up both your physical and mental strength and makes everyone feel better.

Archery...

Every Sunday, at our Centre Linburn, we have a Scottish Archery coach hosting archery coaching sessions for Sight Scotland Veterans service users.

The sessions run from 10:00am to 4:00pm, where you can can drop in at any time between these hours.

Open to Sight Scotland Veterans service users, at all ability levels.

For more information, call 0800 035 6409.

We can organise sporting activities in your local area and are always open to suggestions of what our members would like to do.

Our team can find suitable local classes and sporting activities so you can stay active and enjoy all the benefits of sport.
