Generous grant for technology

The Barbara Ward Children’s Foundation has made a substantial donation towards providing access technology to children and young people with visual impairment.

The money will be used to provide ICT equipment and VI software, creating tailor-made equipment packages, guiding education professionals in best practice to cater for a child with VI, supporting children to find the best equipment, providing grants when other monies are not available, providing toys such as adapted trampolines and talking teddies, as well as providing opportunities in music, art, creativeness and fitness.

The Barbara Ward Foundation was set up in 2001 to help children through grants for education, sport, holidays and respite care.

NBCS relies totally on grants, legacies and donations to enable us to continue our support work with families of children and young people with visual impairment throughout their years of education.
