SUPPORTING YOU

Children, Young Adults and Families

Sight loss can affect people at any age, so we’re here to support children and young adults up to the age of 25 and their families, at every stage of their sight loss journey.

Sight loss doesn’t just affect the individual – it can have a profound impact on parents, siblings, carers, and grandparents. That’s why our approach is family-centred, offering empathetic support, practical help, specialist advice and access to activities where young people can build their confidence and independence.

A family-centred approach

Emotional and practical support for the whole family, including home visits, information days and help navigating key meetings with professional bodies.

Educational guidance

Assistance with Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) applications and signposting to relevant agencies for additional support.

Benefits and grants

Help with accessing benefits, grants, and other resources that can support your child’s development and independence.

A supportive community

We create safe spaces for families to connect, share experiences, and build a support network through regular gatherings and group activities.

Fun and inclusive activities

A wide range of social, sports, educational, and creative activities designed to help young people explore their interests and build confidence.

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES

Fun and inclusive activities for all ages

From exciting adventures to creative workshops, we offer a wide range of activities for children, young adults and their families too! Whether it’s sports, crafts, or social meet-ups, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
