At the beginning of this week, we set our own challenge for the #GoalballFamily. We were delighted that so many of you gave it a go and had fun, even if some of you made it look very easy!

Finally, we also wanted to bring everyone’s attention to a new petition launched by the Guide Dogs. They want people with sight loss to have priority access to online shopping – we think it is a great idea to ensure the community has essential items at this difficult time…
People with sight loss can’t access vital services like food and medication. This has to stop. Sign our petition to the government now: https://t.co/mULLuFo0yY#GuideDogsFamily
