    Situation

    So many parents have commented on how alone they feel in world when it comes to dealing with a blind or partially sighted child. There is estimated to be over 24,000 visually impaired youngsters in the UK. The population in the UK is over 61,000,000, which means one blind youngster per 2,500 people – hardly surprising that parents feel so alone and so isolated, they may never come in contact with another family who has a blind child.

    Solution

    The VICTA family weekend will take 50 to 100 families with visually impaired children away to an activity centre. During the weekend children will get to take part in outdoor activities whilst the parents will get to support and encourage each other in workshops.
