This afternoon, as we continue celebrating The National Lottery’s birthday, we’re delighted to shine a light on another vital initiative made possible because of you, our EqualEyes Project, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund Northern Ireland , and in partnership with Children's Law Centre
EqualEyes provides education advocacy for parents, carers and young people with vision impairment, helping to secure equity of opportunity, participation and outcomes in education. Over the past four years, the project has made a significant and measurable difference:
• 214 families have received 1:1 advocacy support
• 95% now have a clearer understanding of the educational support available and who to speak with
• 91% feel more confident making key decisions about their child’s education
• 100% would use the service again and recommend it to other families
These outcomes reflect the real impact your support makes. Because of National Lottery players, children and young people with vision impairment are getting the advocacy they need, and their families are empowered to champion their rights with confidence.
Thank you for helping us make education more equitable and accessible.
