This national fund is open for applications until 14 October 2024.

Grants up to £30,000 for projects that support and empower children and young people who are blind and vision impaired with the tools to live independent and fulfilling lives.

Projects need to build social, digital and self-advocacy skills, so that children and young people who are vision impaired feel connected with each other, with their sighted peers, and with the wider communities around them.

Registered charities, CIO, CIC’s and Companies Ltd by guarantee and exempt charities can apply.

Applicants must directly support people who are blind and vision impaired or people at risk of losing sight.

The funder is keen to hear from organisations of all sizes that are based in the community, people-powered, and are working to achieve local change.

The deadline for applications is 14 October 2024 (23:59).
