Our Supporters
Zanshin Archery is a small, independent coaching venture. Everything we do — from the equipment we use to the environments we create — is funded through session fees, grants, and the extraordinary generosity of organisations and individuals who believe in what we’re building.
This page is a permanent record of those who have supported our work — through donations, equipment, or in other ways. We are deeply grateful to each of them.
Equipment Donations
Sarabec — Range Safety Hardware
Donated: April 2026
Sarabec donated range control and alerting hardware that gives us a fully visual safety system alongside our existing verbal and auditory commands.
This matters enormously. Archery demands that every person on the range responds instantly and reliably to safety signals: when to shoot, when to stop, when to retrieve arrows. For students who are deaf or hard of hearing, auditory-only commands have always presented a real challenge. For neurodivergent young people with sensory processing differences, the added cognitive load of translating spoken commands under pressure can be a barrier too.
Sarabec’s donation removes that barrier. Clear, consistent visual cues mean every student on the line receives the same signal at the same moment — regardless of hearing ability, sensory profile, or where their attention is in that instant.
Recognition from Archery GB
Gayle Pink, Head of Community — Archery GB
Archery GB is the national governing body for the sport in Great Britain, and we are proud that our work has caught their attention for all the right reasons.
Gayle Pink, Archery GB’s Head of Community, has been particularly warm in her support — taking the time to engage with what we are doing at Zanshin and to acknowledge the value of our approach. Her encouragement means a great deal. Archery GB shapes the direction of the sport across the country, and to have the work we do with neurodivergent and deaf young people recognised at that level is both validating and motivating.
We are grateful to Gayle and to Archery GB for their kind words and their interest in what we are building here in Hampshire.
