Families with blind and visually impaired children will get help and support thanks to £60,000 grant from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons! 👏🤝
Over 700 babies and toddlers with vision impairment will be able to access audio-tactile books, products and services designed by the Living Paintings charity specifically to meet their complex needs, thanks to a grant from The Freemasons Charity and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Freemasons.
Camilla Oldland, CEO at Living Paintings, said:
“We’re very grateful to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons for their generous grant.
Following our in-depth research, we’ve found that families of recently diagnosed infants of blindness or visual impairment, desperately need consistent support which isn’t readily available. Thanks to the Freemasons we can create vital resources to support families at this incredibly challenging time. We will provide the UK-wide infrastructure for infants and their families to thrive.”
