Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

VICTA have been a massive part of mine and my children's lives now for over a decade. 

My daughter Scarlett was born with a sight condition called optic nerve hypoplasia. This condition effects around 1 in every 10,000 births. Scarlett is completely blind but she has never let that stop her living a wonderfully full life. 

Organisations like VICTA help to make that happen. They provide support from birth right up until the age of 29. Without them delivering the work that they do my families lives would be completely different to what it is now.

I am a very proud member of team VICTA!

VICTA is a small but national charity in the UK that empowers children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted and their families. Aware that feelings of isolation and loneliness are dominant within the world of visual impairment, VICTA use activity-based learning as a positive setting for social interaction. For the blind and partially sighted young people, involvement in team-based activities can be positively associated with social acceptance and a sense of belonging, especially where such involvement is characterised by positive coaching, progressive skill development and peer support. VICTA work hard to help young people question limiting presumptions they might have, helping them to view themselves and their potential in a new way. VICTA want them to be able to make a difference to their own lives.
