Fundraise
for us
Our work is only possible when people like you don aprons, put on parachutes, pound city pavements and more.
Somewhere in the UK, in a University lab, is a petri dish containing retinal cells grown by researchers.
Those cells are helping to unlock the secrets of a condition that leads to vision loss, taking us a step closer to better understanding, diagnosing, and treating that condition.
It's people like you who turn pounds into Petri dishes and back the work of the brilliant minds we're funding in labs UK-wide.
Together, we're putting change in sight.
We can only fund this work because people like you don aprons, have a clear-out or lace up your running shoes.
You'll be part of a team of passionate fundraisers, supporters and staff, all dedicated to putting change in sight for everyone impacted by vision loss.

Yes! We are privileged to have Family Funds and Committees that have supported us over many years and many have a personal connection to vision loss.
Setting up a Family Fund means the money you raise will go towards research into the condition that affects your family.
