| Service Description: | VICTA supports children and young people who are blind or partially sighted and their families across the UK. If you are the parent of a blind or partially sighted child or young person or you are visually impaired yourself and under the age of 29 then VICTA can help
VICTA was founded in 1987 by a group of parents who came together to support each other with the day-to-day issues of looking after a visually impaired child. They provided emotional support and worked together to ensure that their children were given the same opportunities as sighted children. They also supported each other through the minefield of obtaining the right educational provision for their children.
Those children have now grown and the original parents wished to ensure that the charity continued so that other parents could have the support which they valued so much. They worked hard to support the charity in its growth and in fundraising, and we are delighted to carry on their work
