Eye Connect is a project designed to connect
vision impaired children and
young people and give them a voice in their community. The project ensures that: children, young people and families have the support they need to feel more confident and thrive emotionally; youth organisations across Wales are equipped to welcome and include vision impaired children and young people in their settings; children and young people can make lasting connections with each other and build a sense of community; children and young people will have a stronger voice in their community and be able to influence change.
By using Specialist Employment Advisers, we're able to support people with sight &/or hearing loss, through a range of interventions tailored to the needs and circumstances of the individual. In partnership with Centre of Sign Sight Sound (COS), Merthyr Tydfil Institute for the Blind (MTIB), and Agoriad Cyf, ELITE's role in JobSense is to work with jobseekers who have sight &/or hearing loss. We also work with employers to enable their ability to recruit from a diverse workforce inclusively.
WoW is a programme that offers support and
training to people who live with
disabilities and long-term health conditions.
