VICTA Changemakers’ VI information guide

As blind and partially sighted people, we can struggle to find information all in one place. The VICTA Changemakers are here to help! We want to share useful services and organisations that have helped us and may help you. If you would like to add a suggestion that might help support other vision impaired people, please complete our form on this page.

The Changemakers suggest you check out…

LOOK UK – Their support offer for young people and families, and the way they support their young volunteer community, is incredible

blindambition.org.uk – Blind Ambition is a charity set up and run with the aim of improving the lives of people living with sight loss.
