Henshaws has a group called VIPAR (visually impaired parents and relatives), which they run in the north east and north west of England. Have a look at Henshaws website to find out more.
Groups run by parents
We have listed some groups that have been set up and run by parents of blind or partially sighted children.
Blind Mums Connect - yahoo group links visually impaired mums from all over the UK, so they can share information and support one another. For membership or associate membership forms and an eZine, contact [email protected] - soon you could be chatting to other parents over Skype.
Disabled Parents Network (DPN) is well worth checking as they can provide information, advice, peer support and advocacy and an online forum.
