A parent led organisation that connects,
informs and empowers
Féach are delighted to be shortlisted
for an NCBI Vision Award
Our Aim
To empower parents to support their blind and visually impaired children to ensure they thrive and lead independent lives
Our Vision
Equal Rights, Equal Access, Equal Opportunities for all low vision children
How
Through Peer Support, Information Sharing, Mentoring and Advocating – PIMA
Parents may never before have met a person who is blind or has a significant sight loss, and may never have known another child like their own.
They can be beset by all kinds of worries and questions:
- How will my child learn?
- Will she have friends?
- Will he be happy?
- Where will she go to school?
- What can I say to him?
- Will I be able to cope?
- Who will tell me what to do?
- How will I know what she needs?
- How will I know if I'm doing the right thing?
