Some of our regular activity programmes include:

Vista also provides advice, information and support for parents, carers and families in coping with their child's sight loss. Additionally, support is available for parents that have sight loss.
Vista continues to work with the Visually Impaired teaching service to ensure support and guidance is available in both mainstream and specialist schools. Jointly, we plan educational activities to promote learning in a relaxing yet stimulating environment.
