Help for parents

Children, Young People and Family Coordinators

We have a team of Children, Young People and Family (CYPF) Coordinators who work for Action for Blind People (part of RNIB Group). CYPF staff can give information and advice to parents and carers of children and young people who are blind and partially sighted and can send you written materials such as our Parent Pack. They also run a range of regional events and groups for children and families, you can contact your local CYPF Coordinator to be put on their contact database for details of forthcoming activities.

Vacation Schemes

RNIB has for many years organised Vacation Schemes. These have transferred to Action for Blind People (part of RNIB Group). Visit Action for Blind People Activity Weeks.
