Funding social change 

Opportunities to fund social change 

The social change fund exists to ignite and accelerate projects that will change the lives of blind and vision impaired people in the UK. We’ve funded projects tackling issues including loneliness and isolation, employment, and domestic violence and abuse. 

Our funding rounds are guided by evidence which we have commissioned. The evidence we’ve gathered will inform the programmes we fund, the partnerships we build and the infrastructure we support.

Our Insight Reports which guide our Social Change Fund

What we fund

We fund research that increases understanding of what it means to be blind or vision impaired in the UK today— for example, experiences of loneliness and isolation, employment, being a survivor or victim of domestic abuse. The work we fund impacts individuals, sectors and society:

Individuals: Everyone's experience of vision loss is different. The research and projects we fund seek to impact individuals throughout the UK. 

Sector: We share the results of our research and the impact of the projects we fund, to inform people across and beyond the vision loss sector. 

Society: The insights we gain from our impact help influence societal change and make it easier for others to replicate success.
