How VICTA can help

VICTA organises activities designed to instil confidence, promote independence and build social networks to share information and reduce isolation. From our early years day to international adventures for young adults, our activities help the families and young people we support grow and gain valuable life experiences.

Grant applications can be made towards the purchase of equipment which helps with your visual impairment e.g. braillers, computers and magnification software.
