Family Support and Events

September 2020 Update

It is with great pleasure we can now announce we have a new programme of events for children, young people and their families. Due to the ongoing Covid 19 situation we have still suspended our face to face events and our new events will all be delivered online.

We will continue to monitor the current situation and hope to resume face to face events in the future.

These online events will still aim to deliver the core objectives of our Shape and Share programme.

Each event offers:

• A chance to meet other families

• Activities, games or crafts for younger children

• Engagement opportunities for young people

• Support, information and discussion for families on a range of topics relating to everyday life at home, education, transitions, social life and leisure, mobility and independence.

• Opportunities to have your say, shape and get involved in local and national campaigns.

• Information about wider services from RNIB and partner organisations.

All children and young people aged 0-25, their siblings, parents and family members are welcome to attend.

Full details of the events on offer for the autumn term are detailed below.

Our Children, Young People and Family (CYPF) teams can provide information and advice for parents and young people. Contact your local team
