The National Blind Children's Society (NBCS) supports children with visual difficulties and their families. NBCS offers independent expertise, information and support to the child from the moment they are diagnosed visually impaired, through their educational years and up to the age of 25.

• Education advocacy - expert advice and representation to ensure the child receives the most suitable education in the correct environment.
• Access technology - Personalised ICT, sensory and other specialist equipment to help children access up-to-date technology.
• Recreation activities - A nationwide programme of day and weekend family events, plus social, holiday and adventure activities.
• CustomEyes books - Large print fact and popular fiction titles, annuals and revision guides tailormade to each child's individual needs.
