Family weekends

"Everything was well organised, the children were so well cared for".

Family Weekends provide opportunities for families of children with visual impairment to take a break and meet other families in similar situations. The families are encouraged to attend as a family, including siblings, providing the opportunity to share experiences whilst taking part in well planned activities for both the children and adults. The weekends are an invaluable opportunity for the children and their parents.

"I was very impressed with the whole weekend, particularly the high level of input from the NBCS staff who were always there to talk to, ask advice and relax with".

The National Blind Children’s Society, plan, prepare and facilitate Family Weekends for families of children with visual impairment.

The ethos of the weekend is for the families to enjoy a break, to meet with other families of children with visual impairment and to share experiences whilst taking part in well planned activities.

For some families it may be their first opportunity to take a holiday together, or the first time they may have met with families similar to themselves.

This Family Weekend is in the RSB Belmont Hotel in Llandudno.

It takes place from Friday evening February 22, until lunchtime Sunday 24 February. Lunch, dinner bed and breakfast are provided.

There will be activities planned throughout the weekend including a day trip to an Adventure park and a fancy dress disco for all!

The hotel is fully accessible and all dietary and other specialist requirements can be catered for, if known in advance.

National Blind Children’s Society staff are with you throughout the entire weekend aiming to provide you with an exciting, informative and enjoyable weekend.
