By Harriet Smith On August 9th, I was lucky enough to win the opportunity along with five other young visually impaired people to have dinner at Le Gavroche, Michel Roux Jr’s restaurant. Having never been there before, I was really looking forward to seeing what it was like. Although VICTA have been running the competition for [...]
The 23rd International Camp on Communication and Computers (ICC) took place in Leuven, Belgium over 10 action packed days in July.

VICTA’s second international trip of 2017 saw us jetting off to the beautiful island of Sicily. Meeting at Luton Airport, our group enjoyed a hearty meal before an early wake-up call to fly out to Sicily, where we met our guides from Seable Holidays. The trip began with a whistle-stop tour through the streets of Catania, [...]
I just wanted to write and thank you/VICTA for the most amazing experience this weekend. I’m struggling to verbalise just what an incredible weekend we have had as a family. Aside from the obvious excitement for the children at being able to do all those amazing activities (and the parents!), the ability to just ‘throw’ our [...]
Due to the success of last year’s collaborations between VICTA and BucksVision, we were thrilled to kick off the summer with another Joint Family Day. This year was made even bigger and better, thanks to the addition of Sight Concern Bedfordshire, and all 3 organisations were excited for what the day would hold. Thankfully, the weather [...]

The start of the trip began with a nice relaxed evening in the college’s halls of residence and dinner courtesy of the RNC. Day two began with a hearty [...]
The latest trip under the VICTA belt took the 18-29s to our very own capital, the great City of London. Our weekend started with an activity to please the adrenalin junkies among the group, as we climbed over an iconic sight of the London skyline – the O2. The weather was against us and it felt [...]
The first 14-17 trip (and third trip overall) for VICTA in 2017 saw us travelling, not too far, to the Caldecotte Xperience in Milton Keynes, a tried and tested centre for VICTA. As our group arrived, the excitement for the weekend ahead was obvious and it was fantastic to welcome a few new faces to the [...]
