If you are the parent of a child who is blind or partially sighted, Sight Support HEY is here to help.
We offer a variety of activities for children and young people to get involved with. We have a mix of independent activities that children and young people can attend with trained staff and volunteers, as well as activities for the whole family.
Our trips and activities are a great way to meet other children, young people and families, make friends and have fun.
We offer activities in the school holidays, some weekends and evenings. A newsletter is sent out regularly throughout the year, which includes details of upcoming activities with details of how to book a place. You can also find our upcoming activities on our What’s On page.
Who can apply?
Our activities are designed for children and young people with sight loss, from birth - 18 years. We also arrange various activities where siblings, parents and other family members can get involved. Please note: Only children registered with Sight Support are eligible to participate in these activities. To register your child, simply call us on 01482 342297.
How much does it cost?
Thanks to a grant from The Ideas Fund delivered by the British Science Association and funded by Wellcome, we are currently able to offer these activities and events FREE of charge.
How do I get a place on an activity?
Once a quarter, a newsletter is sent out to all registered children and young people in Hull. This will include information of upcoming events and activities, as well as a date and time to contact and book your place.
Places are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if places are fully booked then please do not be disappointed as your name can be put onto our waiting list. If a place becomes available, a member of staff will be in touch. For further info and to book please contact Vicky Day on 07990 043614 or email [email protected].
Who staffs the activities?
All of our staff, volunteers and partner organisations are experienced in working with children and young people, and we have a ratio of staff to numbers attending the activity. All staff and volunteers are checked to the enhanced level of disclosure via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
