Engaging in sports and activities is important for everyone, regardless of their age or disability. It improves both physical and mental health, boosts confidence and just makes people feel better about themselves.
At Sight Scotland Veterans, we do not see visual impairment as a barrier to sport and we want to show everyone what is possible; whether that is playing bowls, golf, archery the list goes on and on.
Regular physical activity is an important part of living well. People who lead an active lifestyle are more likely to live longer. Physical exercise builds up both your physical and mental strength and makes everyone feel better.
Cenotaph Parade
Each year, Sight Scotland Veterans puts measures in place to ensure the veterans we support are able to attend and take part in the Cenotaph Parade. For many, attending this historic event would not be possible without this dedicated support.
Find out more about the Cenotaph Parade and how to book your space.
Archery at Linburn
Every Sunday, at our Centre Linburn, we have a Scottish Archery coach hosting archery coaching sessions for Sight Scotland Veterans service users.
The sessions run from 10am to 4pm, where you can can drop in at any time between these hours.
Open to Sight Scotland Veterans service users, at all ability levels.
