i:care – a new teacher’s pack and fun pack for pupils!
This year we are launching a brand new initiative called i:care. It’s all about eye care and the work that Sightsavers supports overseas! Activities are going to be centred around the i:care day, taking place on Friday June 20 2008.
Get involved!
We run a number of exciting competitions (Junior Painter, i:click) to encourage pupils to think creatively about issues surrounding blindness, find out more about these, and other ways you can get involved, here!
