“I loved getting to try
new things and also
meeting new friends
and seeing old ones
too!”

18-29 Driving Break 2019

“This was my first time attending a VICTA
trip following my diagnosis last year and
I enjoyed every second. It ended far too
quickly! Sometimes I struggle with being
the one who can see best but was able
to put this to good use by guiding others
around the city and even more so
when we were at the farm cleaning
out chickens!”

18-29 Bristol 2019

If you're stuck for inspiration for our Christmas

If you're stuck for inspiration for our Christmas decoration competition, here are a few simple craft ideas!

You can use items found around the house and garden - cardboard from old delivery boxes, tin foil, wool or pine cones. You could make your own scented salt dough by raiding your kitchen cupboard. You'll find the recipe here: https://www.victaparents.org.uk/cinnamon-salt-dough-recipe/

Send in your entries before the closing date on 22 November to receive your treat: https://www.victa.org.uk/victa-calendar/tree-for-treats-2023/

Image two: Four pictures scattered across the same brown paper. They show orange slices that have been baked and painted to look like snowmen. A pine cone decorated to look like a reindeer. A salt dough snowman. A star-shaped cookie with edible silver balls used to make braille.
