A qualitative research methodology, focused on in-depth consultation with experienced members of the dance and movement community, was devised for this project.</span></p>

The Alliance will continue to support the creation of a stronger evidence base with which the benefits and impact of participation in movement and dance can be clearly demonstrated; for individual participants, communities and society as a whole. </span></p></div>British Blind Sport ‘scales up’ See My Voice programmehttps://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/articles/british-blind-sport-scales-up-see-my-voice-programme2021-06-16T12:30:32.000Z2021-06-16T12:30:32.000ZLouise Silverhttps://www.wecanmoveinsight.net/members/LouiseSilver<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9098314086?profile=RESIZE_180x180&width=158"></div><div><p>Source: Activity Alliance 9 June 21</p>

<p style="line-height:15.75pt;vertical-align:middle;margin:15pt 0cm 0cm 0cm;"><span style="margin:0px;top:-8.5pt;color:#333333;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;position:relative;">See My Voice was developed to support blind and partially sighted young people achieve leadership skills through volunteering. The programme was chosen for its potential to scale its success from Sport England’s existing pool of volunteering fund grantees. Over the next 18 months British Blind Sport will receive support from social impact consultancy, Spring Impact, to pilot their approach to scaling See My Voice and explore new partnerships with other organisations to work alongside to enable young people from different impairment groups and backgrounds to participate.</span></p>

They have volunteered in a variety of capacities, including coaching and event coordination to develop skills that will inevitably increase their confidence and enhance their employment prospects.</span></p></div>
