Accelerators, like you
Your support helps shape the future of eye health and vision research in the UK.
Accelerators are a special group of people who believe that meaningful change comes from stepping forward at the moment it matters most.
Accelerators help us say “yes” when opportunity arises. They allow us to fund early-stage research before it’s ready for large grants and help us support people in communities before they reach breaking point.
Put simply, Accelerators help close the gap between what could be achieved and what must be achieved.
