Our Mission and Vision
RSBC’s Vision is:
For every blind child to realise their aspirations and live their life without limits.
RSBC’s Mission is:
To be there for blind children and their families with specialist support throughout their journey.
RSBC supports children and families at every stage:
RSBC uses the word blind to describe any level of vision impairment, including children and young people who are partially sighted. We work with children, young people and families from the point of diagnosis to age 25.
We use the term ‘Life Without Limits’ to reflect the fact we are there to support children, young people and their families to work towards removing the societal barriers that exist and achieve their own personal goals and aspirations for the future. RSBC’s centre in London is called the Life Without Limits Centre for this very reason.
We work with a range of specialist partners who share our vision and enable us to reach more children and young people across England and Wales.
