Useful Vision at Healthworks - Activities for visually impaired children

Useful Vision is a registered charity providing positive opportunities, support, and accessible events for visually impaired children and their families across the North East. Our huge range of imaginative activities, relaxed family events and skills workshops are designed to meet the needs of blind and partially sighted children of all ages and abilities. We also run skills workshops for older children and teenagers who have sight loss to help them develop the skills and confidence to move towards positive living; and sensory focused toddler groups for the younger children.

It can be hard to know where to turn when a child in the family has a visual impairment or is diagnosed as blind. It’s important to know you’re not alone. Please see our website for more information on the support and events we offer: https://www.usefulvision.org.uk/
