Paralympic Sports Centre Unveiled
June 25, 2009
An £11m sports and therapy centre for people with disabilities has been officially opened.
It is hoped that Point4 at the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford will encourage more people with disabilities to take up sport.
The venue hosts the 2010 World Blind Football Championship and is home to the English Blind Football Squad.
It will also be used as a base for the West Midlands Paralympic Training Camp for London 2012.
It has football pitches, two gymnasiums, a hydrotherapy pool and relaxation zones.
A five-year revamp, costing £21m, has been launched to develop residential facilities.
