Music Awards exist to provide financial
grants to individual
children and
young people in support of this vision. Music Award applications are open to all blind and partially sighted children and young people, who may also have other
disabilities or
special educational needs, until the age of 18. New applications for an Amber Music Award must be made before the young person’s 18th birthday.
A
grant to empower and enable future generations of people who are blind and partially sighted to reach their goals and fulfil their aspirations whatever they may be. Applicants in receipt of means-tested benefits will be given priority. They are happy to consider applications for specialist software, equipment and specialist
training in the use of access
technology.
We focus on finding and funding scientific research that advances the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of eye disease. And we have an ambitious five-year scientific research strategy to ensure our funding is putting change in sight.
Little Amber is Amber’s innovative
music service that aims to enable blind or partially sighted babies and young
children to engage with music by providing families and professionals with resources and ideas for music-making.
Music in Mind aims to enable blind or partially sighted
children with neurodegenerative disease to engage with music by providing families and professionals with resources and ideas for music-making.
The
children's fund was established to help meet the needs of children who have impaired vision, by providing special needs
grants and specialist equipment. Many families with young children who have
vision impairments will have experienced lengthy
delays and numerous application forms when applying for essential equipment like a
CCTV</a> system or specialist computer software. We hope to be able to attract enough support to be able to help meet some of these needs.
The general
grant fund may award grants of up to £100 to individuals who are registered
sight impaired or
severely Sight impaired who also live in North Wales. The fund may provide grants for items which have been specifically designed for people with impaired vision. Contact Steve Thomas via the contact details below.
Our social impact funding supports projects that are designed to improve the experience of being blind or partially sighted, or at risk of sight loss, in the UK. We are an evidence-led funder and base our programmes on where we feel our money can have the greatest impact. The Vision Fund supports organisations who directly support blind and partially sighted people or people at risk of losing sight.
