My Story

I have witnessed through my wonderful geat auntie Irmschen how isolating and challenging it can be for partially sighted or blind individuals.

VICTA is a brilliant national charity in the UK that empowers children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted and their families. They directly look to support with feelings of isolation and loneliness, VICTA use activity-based learning as a positive setting for social interaction. For the blind and partially sighted young people, involvement in team-based activities can be positively associated with social acceptance and a sense of belonging, especially where such involvement is characterised by positive coaching, progressive skill development and peer support.

 VICTA work hard to help young people question limiting presumptions they might have, helping them to view themselves and their potential in a new way. VICTA want them to be able to make a difference to their own lives.
