About us
Who we are
Goalball UK was established as a charity in 2010 with a responsibility to manage, guide and promote the Para sport of Goalball. Designed specifically for people with visual impairments, it is played across the UK by approximately 1,000 people via a network of local clubs and the extraordinary support of volunteers.
Goalball UK is also responsible for managing a performance programme that encompasses the GB men’s and women’s teams, whose aim is to qualify for future Paralympic Games and other international tournaments, including the 2023 IBSA World Games in Birmingham.
Goalball UK has a core staff team of 8, led by CEO Mark Winder, and is overseen by an active board of trustees with members from a variety of sports and business backgrounds.
