Organisation needs help from Durban North community

The trust was established in 2009 to meet a critical need for early intervention, care, education and support for visually impaired children and their caregivers in Durban.

THE Bright Eyes Trust, which has been in operation for the last 14 years, is looking for volunteers and donations to assist with their various projects.

Some of these projects run from Rinaldo Road in Durban North, but the centre is based in Musgrave.

The trust works to provide essential services to the visually impaired.

“The visually impaired children of KZN are in crisis, and there is very little conversation about how to meet their needs. We are calling for the Durban North community to come forward and support us in our efforts to make a difference,” said Cathryn Aylett, project coordinator for Bright Eyes Trust.
