RSBC Connecting Families Online Support Sessions - bringing parents and carers together

Connecting Families is a series of online group sessions organised by the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC) which are designed to bring together parents and carers of children and young people with vision impairments.

In late 2025, RSBC’s Family Support team held focus groups with parents and carers to explore their needs for Connecting Families. They shared ideas for new topics, speakers, and session structure and their input has shaped plans for 2026. Because the challenges and questions parents face change as their child grows, RSBC have created four age-specific Connecting Families groups; Early Years, Primary Years, Secondary Years and Post-16 . The dates of the next meetings are:

  • Early Years: 22nd April.
  • Primary Years: 14th April.
  • Secondary Years: 21st April.
  • Post-16: 15th April
For more information about the topic for each session and to book a place, visit the RSBC Calendar of Activities and Events , and look for 'Connecting Families' events.
