Engaging in sports, activities and events is important for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Activities and events improve your physical and your mental health, can boost confidence and make people feel great.
At Sight Scotland Veterans, we don't see visual impairment as a barrier and we want to show everyone what's possible; whether that's playing sports such as bowls, golf, archery, or getting together at one of our events.
Staying active is an important part of living well and those who lead an active lifestyle that combines activities, sports and socialising are more likely to live longer and healthier lives.
Archery at Hawkhead
The Sporting and Partnership team are bringing back our monthly archery sessions at The Hawkhead Centre, starting this Saturday 15th March.
The session will run from 10:00am - 1:00pm and will be led by Head Archery Coach, Rod. Call us now to book your space: 0800 035 6409.
The session is free to attend for all Members of Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans, and their families, and will also include participating guest members from our charity partner, Combat Stress.
Whether you're looking to give archery a go for the first time, get back into the sport, or just want to socialise and meet some great new people, come along and help us grow this monthly club!
This is a monthly activity, so even if you miss the first date in March, you're welcome to join later sessions. For more information and to sign up, call us on 0800 035 6409.
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.
