Vika’s Shine Squad! – Summer Sessions
Welcome to the Shine Tribe!
An exciting online youth club designed specifically for young people aged 9-15 years old with a vision impairment.
Meet Vika!
Vika is our vibrant and energetic Youth Engagement Officer. Passionate about working with young people, Vika brings loads of fun, creativity, and positivity to everything she does. Originally from Ukraine, Vika moved to the UK a few years ago and has quickly become a beloved member of our team. She’s a self-proclaimed pasta monster, loves Ukrainian borsch (beetroot soup), coffee, and dumplings (pelmeni)—but isn’t a fan of sweets!
