Seeking applications from projects that support and empower children and young people with the tools to live independent and fulfilling lives.

Specifically, work that builds social, digital and self-advocacy skills, so that vision impaired children and young people feel connected with each other, with their sighted peers, and with the wider communities around them. They know that provision differs across the country and particularly welcome applications from organisations who are collaborating in order to share best practice, deliver at scale or meet previously unmet need.

Keen to fund projects that address three key priority areas:

• Social Connections
• Digital Inclusion
• Personal Resilience and Self-advocacy
