The Royal Society for Blind Children works with the families of children who have been diagnosed to help them understand and adapt to the condition and build confidence for life.
From the moment a family hears the news; we can be on hand with practical and emotional support to guide them through their journey. Our Family Support Service supports children and young people 0-25 years old who have been diagnosed with a serious eye condition and their family, in their own home, to improve their life chances. We can also support those whose sight is starting to deteriorate. Some children may have sight loss as their only condition; others may have sight loss as part of other additional needs. Our vision is that no child in the UK should grow up to be poor and lonely just because they are blind.
