Case studies

Nicole

Vista family support and parent networking is a wonderful service. It is a brilliant way to get to know and connect with other parents, who are in a similar situation as you.

At 8 months, a nurse noticed Nicole’s abnormal eye movement. Since then, Nicole has been diagnosed with Albinism which means she is partially blind.

Pat

'It’s just perfect for what I want.'

Pat has been supported by Vista as long as she can remember, and is now enjoying herself in our Kathleen Rutland home.

Peter*

"Since being involved with Vista, Peter's confidence has grown significantly."

Taking part in team sports is a passion Peter has been able to reignite through Vista's activities.

Phil

"Becoming a Trustee provides me with the opportunity to contribute towards shaping the future of services for locally visually impaired people."

Trustee Phil Smalley tells us about his involvement with Vista, from receiving support as a child to his contributions now.

Santander

We left a stronger, closer team and felt proud of the contribution we were able to make.

The bank employees, based at the Carlton Park offices in Narborough, provide vital support by volunteering and fundraising for Vista.

Sarah

"It’s all attitude, and Vista have really helped me realise I can do this. Life can get better, and I am the proof.”"

When Sarah was involved in a life changing road traffic collision, she was scared that she'd lose all her independence. With help from Vista she's growing in confidence again.
