Sensing Friends, which provides a programme of support for young people who are visually impaired/blind and their friends who are sighted, will use funding to continue running its Circle of Friendships group and Drop-ins, as well as expand services to include open weekends, 1:1 support/counselling and a creative arts project. The programme of support is for young people who are blind, visually/hearing impaired to meet other young people who are sighted/do not have hearing loss or impairment and are experiencing the same issues around social exclusion and for friendships to be developed between all of the young people.
