Trustees again wish to support work in enabling blind and partially sighted children to experience greater life satisfaction, inclusivity, self-esteem and potential job success through acquiring the skill of reading from Braille. We hope our grant will assist in refurbishing Braille library stock.
Trustees are pleased to be able to support the Touch to See books as an online library provision for young members whilst ensuring that those unable to access such facilities will still receive ‘hard copy’ forms. Now that the havoc caused by the pandemic is abating, service to blind and partially sighted children is even more important in enabling our society to rebuild those all-important social, educational and physical networks on which all children so depend
Trustees are pleased to support The Little Angel Theatre once again as they develop their touring puppet performances for children in hospital to be delivered digitally using wipe-down iPads. We have been very impressed by the way they have adapted to deliver performances and their puppetry training courses online whilst the pandemic continues.
Trustees wish to support Live Life Go Further programme that will take blind and partially sighted youngsters from a life of loneliness and depression, highlighted by the pandemic lockdown measures, to a life filled with confidence, enhanced mental and physical wellbeing, and improved relationships with family, friends, and community.
