This initiative aims to make a positive difference for children who have mild or moderate vision problems. Vision problems can impair learning, development and enjoyment of life.
The evidence is in!
Our See Here team, with the help of stakeholders, has produced two key documents. These documents have been developed to present the evidence for a review of policies relevant to children with mild and moderate vision impairment.
The evidence-based case is a relatively long and detailed document, which may not be of interest to all readers, so See Here has also produced a summary booklet for much wider distribution.
These will be available here on Tuesday 22 July.

Making life easier for fundseekers |
|
|
In recent months, a small group of organisations including the Trust has been exploring how:
- The business of getting and accounting for grants and donations can be made simpler and more “user friendly”
- Funders might work together to make this happen.
This work has been focused in Waitakere, and we hope it will be of use anywhere.
Click here to read a summary of the research that has been undertaken (PDF, 195KB).

Making funding processes "youth friendly" |
|
|
The Trust has recently commissioned some research about ways of funding that involve young people, and make funding more accessible for young people's projects. Lisa Woods researched many current schemes, and talked with a lot of youth agencies, funders, and active young people in New Zealand to see what they thought would work in their region.
The attached resource, Future Focus, describes what Lisa learned, and includes case studies of several NZ and international models. It's also available in a paper version - just contact us if you'd like one.
