Each Friday we are 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 stay active!!
This week we celebrated International Women’s Day and it was fantastic to see so many posts about the inspirational women in the goalball community! Here’s a small selection of some of our favourites, with Georgie Bullen…

The theme for #InternationalWomensDay 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge, so we're shining a light on five incredible blind and partially sighted women who have done just that.
