Support for families

Every family is unique. We want to be able to give the support you need in a way that works for everyone.

At RSBC, we want every blind child, young person and their family to have the skills and confidence to live their life without limits.

We want to make sure that you have the support you need to ensure that happens. Wherever you are in England and Wales, we have a range of support and services to meet your needs. So if you are a young person, a parent or carer or other family member, please have a look at the activities, events and services we offer to support you and your family.
