475: Charities Collaborate To Make Leisure Facilities Accessible.
Category: Government & Organizations
Duration: 00:06:43

Description:
With the further easing of lockdown restrictions, many leisure facilities, gyms and sports clubs are once again welcoming the public back.
However, there are social distancing restrictions and new hygiene regulations in place to protect our health, which means that there are new ways of working out or taking part in sports again.
This has further accessibility implications, and indeed barriers, for blind and partially sighted people, so how can they take part?
RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Alaina MacGregor, CEO of British Blind Sport, to learn about some collaborative work that has lead to new guidance being published to make these places more visitor friendly and accessible for visually impaired people.
