National Eye Health Week (NEHW) 2026

National Eye Health Week (NEHW) runs from Monday 21st – Sunday 27th September and aims to promote regular eye tests and good eye health! To help you learn more about eye health, we’ve created 4 new accessible resources which can be found on our Information Library

Help us to keep young people connected

We are shining a light on our Youth Clubs and children and young people’s groups, and the important role they play in creating accessible spaces for young people with sensory impairments. Our groups give young people opportunities to make friends, build confidence, try new activities and spend time with others who understand their experiences.

By committing to a monthly gift, or a one-off donation to our charity, you can help us continue creating opportunities like these and support children and young people to feel connected, confident and included.
