This funding is designed to support the creation of a sight loss sector that is coherent, sustainable, and resilient to the rising demand for equal service provision across the UK.

The fund offers unrestricted grants of between £10,000 and £20,000 for not-for-profit organisations in the sight loss sector across the UK whose growth and sustainability are challenged by the uncertain economic climate and cost of living crisis.
