Why donate and why support these charities?
The impact of vision on quality of life and overall health
The lived experience of a child with sight loss is very different to that of their sighted peers. Many children affected by blindness require specialist support to learn how to do everyday tasks like navigating new spaces, learning how to learn, building and maintaining friendships.
We know that just because a child can’t see, it doesn’t ‘mean they shouldn’t have a vision for their future. Our Charities of Choice have the knowledge and expertise to support these very special children in developing the skills they need to overcome barriers to inclusion and to live happy, healthy and independent lives as blind people in a sighted world.

How each charity aligns with Scope mission?
When we were looking to give back to a charity in Scope, it was almost over whelming because there are so many great causes out there. For us in Scope, it made sense to give back within our sector. It makes sense to help people with sight loss, it makes even more sense to help children with sight loss. The earlier these children can build the skills they need to grow up in a sighted world the better chance they have of leading a full and happy life.
