Our service supports children and young people aged 0–19, along with their families. We offer a range of trips and activities throughout the year that are designed to:

  • Build life skills
  • Encourage independence
  • Enable children with vision impairments (VI) to engage in fun, inclusive activities alongside peers with similar disabilities

Examples of past trips and activities include:

  • Chester Zoo
  • Diggerland
  • iFly Indoor Skydiving
  • Chill Factore
  • Pizza parties
  • Camping trips
  • Sensory activities
  • Sound and photography workshops (in collaboration with FON)

New and exciting opportunities for our children and young people

We are always exploring new and exciting opportunities for our children and young people to enjoy and benefit from.

In addition to supporting the children, our trips provide a valuable opportunity for parents and carers to connect and form peer support networks.
