People of Edinburgh can help Sight Scotland to light up Christmas for children and young people with visual impairment this festive season.
This winter, the charity hopes to provide new sensory lighting equipment for the children and young people with sight loss who are supported by Sight Scotland’s residential services in Edinburgh.
The bright colours and warmth of sensory lighting brings joy and relaxation to children and young people with visual impairment and can support their development.
New sensory lighting equipment would play a huge part in the day-to-day tailored interactive activities at the residential services.
Sight Scotland is also inviting Edinburgh residents to decorate paper Christmas baubles to provide unique tree decorations for the charity’s residential services.
A selection of the delightful designs which are sent in will also be shared on Sight Scotland’s social media pages.
Kerry Lindsay, Sight Scotland Head of Fundraising, said: “We would love to bring some added magic to this time of year for the children and young people we support in our fantastic Edinburgh based residential services.
“Donations to our sensory light appeal this Christmas to help us provide new sensory lighting equipment will help create fantastic interactive experiences for the children and young people we support. We would hugely appreciate anything you can give.
“Our residential staff and colleagues in services across Sight Scotland are also working hard to create beautiful decorations for everyone in our residential services to enjoy. If you would like to help spread some joy by sending us your own decorated paper bauble, we would be delighted to receive your design.”
