England & Wales Blind Golf are proud to be able to support juniors’ and young people with grants towards making golf accessible and affordable for families. Working with both community groups and schools.
Golf can in many ways help young people develop life skills, which will help later in life in business and also in every day life plus mental and physical health. Communication, confidence, persevarance, honesty, respect and team work are a key part of the player and guide interaction in blind golf. Helping young people develop confidence in all areas.
As a charity one of our key aims is to develop quality family time and there is no better way than spending time on the practice range or golf course for families to share the feel good and positive rewards golf can give.
Through the charities grants program for young people and the work being done with schools with visually impaired children of all ages, its our aim to use golf to be the vehicle that transforms lives. Working together with our sponsors and partners and drawing on their key skills to mentor children and give them skills needed to develop their futures the added enjoyment of sports.
Many of our members played golf as VI children using the skills learned to go on and secure employment and achieve their dreams.
Our focus as a charity is to make golf as accessible, inclusive and affordable as possible for children and families.
