Children, young people and families service - Northern Ireland

We want blind and partially sighted children and young people to realise their potential.

Our Children, Young People and Families team provide support and advice to families, and those supporting children with sight loss or a vision impairment, from birth up to 25 years of age.

Here you will find information on how we can help and our contact details to find out more.

This can include, but is not limited:

• Advice in early years and education

• Activities for the whole family

• Advice and guidance for young people transitioning from school to further education, work, and independent living

• Advice and training for professionals

• Emotional support - including referral to our Need to Talk counselling and confidence building service where appropriate

• Signposting to other relevant services and organisations 

In Northern Ireland we are also delighted to be working with Guide Dogs NI in supporting children and young people aged 8 to 25 through the Our Futures project – kindly funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
