Meet some of the famous faces who support Actionnaires

"I think it’s fantastic to see blind and partially sighted children being given the same sporting opportunities as their sighted friends. It is so important to enable these children to build self-confidence and realise their own potential. There should be nothing stopping Actionnaires kids potentially becoming sports heroes of our future. I’m glad to be a part of helping Action for Blind People achieve this."
John McGovern, former Nottingham Forest Captain

"Actionnaires clubs - what a great opportunity for blind and partially sighted kids to try out as many different sports with specialist coaches and other children with similar abilities! This UK wide project could develop our stars of the future, but more importantly, give visually impaired kids the chance to become fitter, more confident and make good friends."
Ian Rose, Paralympic medallist

"I’d like to wish everyone taking part in the new Actionnaires club in Leicester lots of luck. I’m sure that the scheme will not only prove to be very beneficial, but also really enjoyable. It’s a great chance to get involved in sport, at whatever level you feel comfortable, but more importantly, it’s a real opportunity to make life-long friends.”
Martin Corry, Leicester Tigers and England Rugby Captain

"As a big fan of football, I think every child should be given the chance to play the game and score a few goals. Actionnaires offers kids with visual impairments the opportunity to try different sports, make friends and become confident. I'd like to wish the West London Actionnaires the very best of luck."
BBC Radio 1’s Mark 'Chappers' Chapman

"The launch of the Middlesbrough Actionnaires is a great boost for blind and partially sighted children on Teesside. I'm a firm believer in sport being available to all and this is a great example of giving children an opportunity to get involved in activities they might normally miss out on. I wish the Actionnaires the very best of luck."
Gareth Southgate, Manager of Middlesbrough FC

"I am 100% behind anything that gives anyone encouragement with obstacles however large or small, that is why I believe Actionnaires is a fantastic project which gets my full endorsement."
Barrie McDermott, former Leeds Rhinos player

"Watching the kids learning to run, jump, catch and score is truly an inspiration. I fully support the work Action for Blind People is doing with blind and partially sighted children."
Dominique Moore, actress and fashion designer

"The Swindon Actionnaires is a great boost for blind and partially sighted children living in the area and I wish the club the very best of luck. I'm a firm believer in sport being available to all. Having a visual impairment shouldn't stop a child from taking up football, kick boxing or any other sport they want to play. The Actionnaires club is a great way of giving children the chance to get involved in activities they might otherwise miss out on."
Paul Sturrock, Swindon Town Football Club Manager.
