Feach is a Parent Support Group for Blind and
Visually Impaired Children formed in 1994. The aim of the association
is to support the Education, Training, Communication and Social
needs of Blind and Visually Impaired children.
Although primarily a support group, Feach have
lobbied for resources and services lacking across various government
agencies. The free Travel and Companion Pass was successfully campaigned
for in 1996 and Feach was instrumental in setting up the new National
Braille Production Centre in the grounds of St Josephs School, Drumcondra,
Dublin 9.
We are currently working to gather support
from all parties for the early implementation of the National Centre
for Children with Visual Impairments. This Centre of Excellence
is a pivotal element for the future care and development of children
with visual impairments.
