Another Glorious session of Bellboating with Berkshire Vision at Accessible Boating Thames in Bisham

Last month, we had a fantastic day Bell Boating at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre. We paddled in unison to propel a twin-hulled canoe along the River Thames in glorious sunshine.

Working as a team and supported by sighted volunteers, the and people we support were able to fully enjoy the experience. Through clear communication, trust and cooperation, everyone played an important role in powering the boat and keeping it moving smoothly along the river. It was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy time together outdoors.

Opportunities to try new sports and build confidence are so important for people with a visual impairment, who can often face barriers to participation and inclusion.

Thank you to Sport England for supporting our adapted sports programme and helping improve access and build confidence.
