As with many other sport and physical activity providers, the Coronavirus pandemic encouraged British Blind Sport (BBS) to adapt its services and explore the world of online workout classes. BBS's audio-led sessions, developed in collaboration with inclusive providers, have helped blind and partially sighted people keep active from their homes during the pandemic and have continued to be enjoyed by people around the world. Its YouTube channel has over 100 on-demand activity videos in a variety of styles.
The workouts have proved so popular that BBS has decided to continue offering them alongside their regular delivery and have launched the new Active at Home programme in 2022 to encourage more blind and partially sighted people to be active. The programme involves a live workout week at the beginning of each month, with different 30-minute exercise classes such as Yoga, and Strength and Tone, which will be recorded and uploaded for those who were unable to attend, as well as pre-recorded sessions of different activities streamed on YouTube.
