### Year Ending: 31 May 2025

Company activities and impact

During the financial year following its launch in May 2024, Vision Through Action CIC (VTA) focused on establishing sustainable, accessible sporting opportunities for visually impaired people, while laying the foundations for long term community impact. For the first six months of operation, VTA prioritised networking, partnership development, and applications for grant funding and sponsorship. This groundwork was essential to ensure that future provision would be safe, inclusive, and financially sustainable. A key achievement during this period was VTA’s successful application to host a Showdown club, an inclusive table sport designed to be accessible to people regardless of age or level of sight. VTA was awarded one of a limited number of Showdown tables made available nationally as a legacy of the 2023 World Games, coordinated by British Blind Sport. The table was provided on a long term loan, avoiding a purchase cost of over two thousand pounds. At the time, only twelve Showdown tables existed in the UK, with just eight offered to clubs under a service level agreement. This agreement required a commitment to increasing local participation, developing coaches and volunteers, and entering a team into the newly formed national league. Securing this opportunity represented a significant milestone for both VTA and the local visually impaired community. To ensure the club could operate safely and accessibly, VTA worked closely with local partners to identify a permanent, secure venue for storage and delivery. A partnership was established with Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire, who recognised the value of inclusive sporting opportunities for their service users and supported the development of the club. VTA also completed essential preparatory work, including securing public liability insurance, completing risk assessments, and training volunteer coaches. Alongside this, VTA continued to support visually impaired grassroots football in the local area. Working in collaboration with the East Riding County FA, VTA provided training and mentoring to volunteer coaches to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of football sessions for visually impaired participants. This work helped ensure that existing sports provision better met the needs of the community it serves. To enable the delivery and promotion of Showdown, VTA applied for sponsorship to cover essential costs such as venue hire and specialist equipment, including bats, balls, and blindfolds. Sponsorship funding of two thousand one hundred and sixty pounds was successfully secured from Hudgell Solicitors. In addition, VTA invested significant time and resources into designing and creating a bespoke, portable version of the Showdown table. This innovation allows the sport to be taken into schools and community events, widening access for visually impaired children as well as adults. This development went beyond the requirements of the service level agreement with British Blind Sport and demonstrated VTA’s commitment to maximising community benefit. Due to the scale of preparation required, including partnership building and infrastructure development, VTA did not formally launch its Showdown provision until March 2025. The official launch event marked the successful establishment of the CIC and provided valuable publicity for its new activities. The event was funded using compensation received from NatWest, following the bank’s acknowledgement of accessibility failings experienced by VTA’s senior director during the account set up process as a visually impaired user. By the end of the financial year, VTA had completed all necessary groundwork and received its Showdown table, placing the organisation in a strong position to begin regular club sessions in the following year. The preparatory work undertaken has also enabled VTA to explore the addition of further inclusive sports activities in its second year, ensuring continued and growing benefit to the visually impaired community.

Consultation with stakeholders

In developing its activities during the financial year, Vision Through Action CIC consulted with and took account of the needs of its key stakeholders, namely visually impaired adults, visually impaired children, and their families. This consultation directly informed the activities and preparatory work described in the Community Impact and Benefit section of this report. Through prior experience working within the local sight loss sector in Hull and East Yorkshire, and through ongoing informal feedback gathered from visually impaired individuals and families by word of mouth, VTA identified barriers to engagement with existing local provision. These findings were supported by research conducted by Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire in partnership with the University of Hull. VTA’s director, Bethan, is closely linked to this research in her professional role as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Hull. Feedback and research findings consistently highlighted that many visually impaired people and families were discouraged from accessing existing sports and physical activity provision because sessions were often held during standard daytime hours. This created barriers for those attending school, those in employment with conventional working hours, and families with other daytime commitments. In response to this consultation and evidence, VTA focused its efforts on securing facilities and developing provision outside of standard daytime hours. This approach informed the planning of evening Showdown sessions and Sunday afternoon grassroots football sessions, ensuring activities were accessible to a wider range of participants. This consideration was a key factor in the design of VTA’s activities and directly aligned with the needs expressed by stakeholders. As part of the visually impaired grassroots football provision referenced in the activity and impact statement, the East Riding County FA established a steering group involving local partners. Vision Through Action CIC was represented at each meeting of this group. The steering group provided an opportunity to contribute to discussion, share insight, and hear the views of other local stakeholders, including Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire, the Tigers Trust, and Hull Active Schools. This collaborative forum supported shared learning and ensured that provision was shaped by a broad range of local expertise and stakeholder perspectives. Through this combination of direct feedback, research evidence, and active participation in local partnership structures, VTA ensured that its activities during the financial year were informed by stakeholder consultation and were designed to address identified barriers to participation for visually impaired people and their families.
