Each Friday during the coronavirus lockdown we’ll be selecting our favourite social media activity from the Goalball Family and beyond.
We hope 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.
This week, our CEO Mark Winder nominated Great Britain women’s head coach, and RNC teacher, Aaron Ford on ‘Thank a Teacher Day’…
It’s #thankateacherday today. Who would @GoalballUK people pick? My choice is @RNC_Hereford Aaron Ford for his work to provide opportunity to people through @RNC_Sport.
