Who We Are
We are a not-for-profit company with charitable aims. Our directors, who all work in the sight imparment field have a significant understanding and years of experience so they can meticulously plan and develop our services alongside our members.
We do not receive any local authorrity funding and have to work hard to gain any grants. We can sell services and commit to reinvesting any profits into achieving our social objectives. Ours are to support children, young people and their families, especially through not exclusively those with sight impairment issues to improve their quality of life through the provision of valuable skills training, activities and events in order that they can become more independent and self-aware on their life’s journey.
We are accountable to any funder who gives us money and to any contractor or person who may buy our services. All directors have an extemporary track record in the field of sight impairment, and all carry an Enhanced DBS and receive up-to-date training in vital topics such as Safeguarding. We have professional body status and are very much part of national networks promoting ‘good governance and practices’.
We engage with sight-impaired children and young people and their families who live in the North East. The areas we cover include Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Co. Durham, and Tees Valley.
