VI Running

Runners aged 18-plus with visual impairments can now find a running guide in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough thanks to a new database from England Athletics in partnership with British Blind Sport. All guide runners on the database are licensed which means they are DBS checked and have attended an England Athletics ‘Sight Loss Awareness and Guide Running’ workshop. Guides can also help young people get into running. Find the database at Guide Running for Visually Impaired Runners | RunTogether.

VI Cricket

This includes delivering table cricket sessions in SEND Schools for those with severe physical or learning disabilities, and the Super 1s group one evening a week which is free and gives young people age 12-25 with a disability the chance to regularly play cricket.
