The proceeds from our events will go directly towards the Children’s Services of Visiona Australia. Children without sight experience a range of problems including difficulty bonding with their parents, dependency and unemployment later in life. A child may not even develop the strength to brush its teeth or hold its head up without non-visual stimuli to encourage crawling and walking. Childrens Services provides a range of support, counselling, therapy and training services free of charge to children and their families, the cost of which is approximately $6 million across New South Wales, VIC and the ACT each year.
For over seventy-five years the Black & White Committee has worked tirelessly to raise much needed awareness and funds for children who are blind or have low vision and use the services of Vision Australia (formerly The Royal Blind Society). The Black & White Committee is run by a team of volunteers, many of whom have been committee members for over 20 years and some for over 50 years.
