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 statutory funding and work hard to gain grants to support our work. 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 funding 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.
We are members of national networks and receive up-to-date information by being part of professional 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.
