People with sight loss in Norfolk are being invited to try something new.

Vision Norfolk is offering two free taster sessions of carpet bowls in Swaffham as part of its leisure and sports programme.

The sessions will take place at Swaffham Community Centre on Campingland, running from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on Monday, June 29 and Monday, July 27.

Penny Whitby, Vision Norfolk’s West Norfolk hub co-ordinator, said: "Our leisure programme covers a huge range of activities, including many which some might be surprised that vision impaired people are able to tackle, including archery, cycling, book clubs using audiobooks and boccia.

"The aim is to encourage people to try new things, to show them that sight loss doesn’t need to stand in the way of leading an active and fulfilled life, and to provide the vital social contact which is so important for people living with sight loss."

People of all ages and levels of sight loss are welcome to attend either or both sessions. No booking is required.
