My Story

Help to change the lives of children and young adults with sight loss

Each day, four more children will be diagnosed with sight loss. 
Vision-impaired children are twice as likely to be bullied.
1/3 will suffer from depression and other mental health issues.

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 vision impairment, VICTA uses sport and activity-based learning as a positive setting for social interaction. For 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.
