Children & Young People

About the CYP VI Service

Supporting children and young people living with sight loss through activities, support, friendships and opportunities from nursery age through to young adulthood.

At Beacon, we understand that growing up with sight loss can bring unique challenges for both children and families. Our Children and Young People service aims to create opportunities where young people can build confidence, try new experiences, make friendships and feel supported within their community.

We offer a range of activities, events, support and signposting for children, young people and families across the Black Country and surrounding areas. From sports and social activities to family events, technology sessions and preparation for adulthood, our aim is to help children and young people access opportunities both within and beyond education.
