Visually Impaired Bowlers Scotland exists to promote the sport of Lawn Bowls for people who have a visual impairment, from complete novices to players of international standard. We organize competitions at regional and national level and send teams to represent Scotland in UK 'Home' Internationals, 'Friendly' Internationals (e.g. Israel) and International Blind Bowls Association World Championships. We also organise 'Try Bowls' events at locations throughout Scotland to try and engage with new bowlers and to establish affiliated clubs in areas not currently covered by us.

Objectives: a We aim to promote and improve the physical and mental health of all visually impaired bowlers in Scotland, reduce their suffering and distress and help them overcome their limitations, specifically by helping them to take part in and play the sport of bowls. b We also aim to promote the welfare of visually impaired people who are interested in taking part in, or already taking part in, the sport of bowls, help with providing initial instruction and qualified coaching for visually impaired bowlers in Scotland and help in other ways we have resources for.
