Why Fundraise for LOOK?

What we do, LOOK supports visually impaired young people to thrive, building confidence, independence and connection through mentoring, transformational events, online communities and parent support groups. How LOOK helps, Our participants say we help beat isolation by building community and connection with other VI young people. We boost confidence in independent living and self-advocacy, and help develop skills needed to progress in education and employment. How your fundraising helps, By fundraising for LOOK you are helping us continue our vital work supporting blind and partially sighted young people and their families to thrive. Get involved, From cycling, baking to singing – there is something for everyone! There are so many ways you can get involved and fundraise for us.

60% of blind children will be bullied in school, and 90% of those who lose their vision in childhood will never work for more than 6 months (Royal Society of Blind Children).

When you take on a challenge for us, you’re not just ticking off a personal goal; you’re helping transform the lives of visually impaired young people across the UK.

From mentoring and youth programmes to practical support for families, your fundraising can change lives.

Your support means that no young person has to face sight loss alone.

This is your chance to do something extraordinary.
