Look Sussex

Free, fun, family events for VI kids!

Look Sussex is a small local charity, we support families across East and West Sussex who have a child who is blind or visually impaired.

We are an active charity offering free events almost every month of the year, for the whole family.

All ages and abilities are welcome to join, we strive to make our events varied and accessible to all.

If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Look Sussex is run completely voluntarily by 5 parents of visual impaired children.

We have attracted support from many local businesses and organisations.

We receive funds from sponsored events organised by the Trustees and families, we also have charity boxes placed in local businesses within Sussex.
