About The Vision Charity

Vision Charity was created in 1975 and celebrates over 35 years of fundraising for the benefit of blind and visually impaired children. Its foundation was the professional and corporate television industry, but since then it has broadened its reach beyond the Visual Communications Industries.

 

Our Mission is to try and inject fun into the lives of the blind and visually impaired children we support as well as their families. We have succeeded in doing this through the support of our ever expanding support base of corporate, celebrity and individual sponsors. Our board is well connected representing the worlds of broadcast, finance, private equity, venture capital, fashion retail, PR and Marketing. We also maintain very close links with professional organisations including the Royal National Institute for the Blind, Sense, The Royal London Society for the Blind, The Royal National College – Hereford, Autism Independent and many others.

 

We actively work with our Patrons, most notably the recent addition of David and Coraline Ginola, in the marketing efforts surrounding our various fundraising events most notable the recent launch of our sports legacy fund initiative.

 

Our primary aim is to raise money to provide access to facilities and equipment for our blind and visually impaired children. We have provided equipment including sensory rooms, the Katie Price playground at Dorton House School as well as weekend breaks for these children and their families. Making life easier for this community of people is our credo and there are many more opportunities that we can explore.

 

The management of the Charity has traditionally been through volunteers.
