WELCOME LETTER

Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

• Can this be stopped?
• How will I live my life?

Currently, research into preventing and treating sight loss is chronically underfunded, receiving a mere 1.5% of publicly funded health research grants: people who are blind or vision impaired are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation than the general population.  

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight.

Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build, and initiatives we support change lives for blind and vision impaired people.

We are Fight for Sight: we won’t stop until we Save Sight. Change Lives.

Everyone who works for us is helping deliver this ambitious vision:

• Our grants team administers funds to the brightest researchers across the UK, advancing understanding, diagnosis, prevention and treatments for eye disease.
• We are funding innovative projects that build connections, reduce loneliness, and improve the lives of people who are blind, and vision impaired throughout the UK.
• Fundraisers work tirelessly to raise money to ensure we can reach our goal of investing over £20 million in scientific research and social change over this strategy period.
• The staff and volunteers within our preloved stores are driving donations and sales to spark breakthroughs that will put change in sight.

Location: Scotland – working remotely but covering and be able to travel the whole geographical region
