Resources, information and advice for blind or partially sighted parents.
There are a number of organisations and groups which offer support to blind or partially sighted parents.
A group for blind parents and carers to share information and support one another. For membership or associate membership forms, visit their website. For more information you can download the Blind Mums Connect services leaflet.

The VI Parents and Carers Together Facebook group is a closed group for parents and/or carers who are either blind or partially sighted. Use this safe online space to discuss tips and tricks of parenting and caring for kids big and small, share life experiences and most of all talk about what it is like to be a parent or carer with sight loss.
One of the best ways to build support around you is to join our community. You can share experiences, hints and tips with people in your local area through Community Connect, and feed into developing our RNIB services through Connect Voices.
Get involved with our Facebook Groups.
