Family support
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 Welsh 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.

Our Welsh project
We’ve been fortunate to secure a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund Wales, which ensures that RSBC and its partners CWVYS and Wales Council of the Blind can provide vision impaired children and young people and their families with a range of support and activities right across Wales.
The project will run until August 2026, and is called Eye Connect Cymru. The project will ensure:
- That children, young people and families have the support they need to feel more confident and thrive emotionally.
- That youth organisations across Wales are equipped to welcome and include vision impaired children and young people in their settings.
- That children and young people can make lasting connections with each other and build a sense of community.
- That children and young people will have a stronger voice in their community and be able to influence change.
How you can get involved?
If you’re a youth organisation, or a parent or young person who’d like a local youth organisation to meet your accessibility needs, then clicking the link will tell you more about the free training available for those organisations.
