Help and Support for Visually Impaired Children and their Families

Useful Vision is a registered charity providing positive opportunities and jam-packed events for visually impaired children around the North East. We work with children and their families to give them the support they need to flourish.

Our Mission is to provide accessible, positive opportunities and activities to visually impaired children and their families throughout the North East region. We enable children to learn new skills and make new friends – reducing social isolation through increased confidence and self-esteem.
