The Realise Project, run by RNIB NI and funded by the Big Lottery Fund, supports
children with sight loss aged 8 to 16 across Northern Ireland to build their
confidence through extra-curricular activities such as swimming and music. The
project empowers children who are blind or partially sighted, particularly through
key transitions in their lives, such as the move from primary to secondary school.
Focusing on extra-curricular activities that will take place in many schools, the
Realise Project builds knowledge and skills through one to one tuition. At the same
time, the project helps other children and education/youth professions to gain an
improved understanding of sight loss through RNIB Visual Awareness Training.
If you are a parent/guardian, a professional working within the education sector or
a child/ young person aged 8 to 16, get in touch for more information. Contact
