Nothing brings people together like group sports.

This week on the show join Simon and Andrew as they have an enlightening conversation with Julie Cavallo, Development Officer for Blind Sports WA. Julie takes us inside her journey with the Australian Women’s Blind Cricket team at the 2025 T20 World Cup in India, revealing the passion, inclusion, and electric atmosphere of blind cricket in one of the world’s most cricket-loving nations.

Julie highlights how Blind Sports WA is building confidence, resilience, and community through inclusive programs from children's initiatives like “Let’s Get Visible” to competitive sport pathways. It’s a powerful reminder that sport doesn’t just build skills—it builds belonging, and helps create a stronger more inclusive community. 

The great work that Blind Sports do to provide these opportunities does require not only support from volunteers and dedicated participants it also requires funding and financial support. Blind Sports WA are frequently conducting fundraising to help with their services and to make it easier for their participants to take part in the activities they choose.
