Each Friday during the coronavirus lockdown we’ll be selecting our favourite social media activity from the Goalball Family and beyond.
We hope that this round up can help to keep you entertained and provide inspiration to help you stay active during this period when we have to remain at home.
On Monday we launched another social media challenge and we are delighted that so many of you took part in sharing your favourite goalball photos!
So, let’s get this week’s round up underway with Adam Knott’s first entry – a wonderful family photo taken just before the London Paralympics…
For the next 10 days, I will be sharing 10 of my favourite goalball photos to celebrate the #GoalballFamily and I would like you to do the same! 📷 Here is a picture of my family and I before the London 2012 games! @AJBunney , give it a go! @GoalballUK 🔵 pic.twitter.com/sd7H6sgHes

Winchester Goalball Club have been cooking up some delicious food this week. Check out Chud’s amazing homemade pizza – we wouldn’t mind if you guys make some treats for the next Goalball UK competition when this is over!
Continuing with the cooking theme, Chud has been working hard making pizza whilst he's had to #StayAtHome! 🍕 It looks yummy! 😍 Who else has been trying some new culinary treats why they've had to #StayAtHome? pic.twitter.com/DIX3aopWki

And finally, the RNIB have been remembering the blind march that took place 100 years ago this week. Hundreds of blind people began a march to London in the name of equality, leading to the Blind Person’s Act…
On 5 April 1920, hundreds of blind people began a march to London in the name of equality, leading to the Blind Person’s Act - a landmark in disability legislation.
