All donations to Sight Research UK’s Christmas Appeal to be matched by Newmedica
You helped raise over 25k for Sight Research UK.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all our generous supporters and the community who helped to ‘Brighten Lives Through Vision Research’ this Christmas. Within weeks, you not only propelled us to our initial target of £10,000, which Newmedica committed to match pound for pound, but your total donations went above and beyond this goal.
We are delighted to share that your total gifts this Christmas amounted to £12,567.50.
Off the back of this wonderful news, Newmedica kindly offered to increase their committed match funding. This means that every single pound and penny you raised throughout the campaign, which ended on 31 December, has double the impact. So, Newmedica’s generous gesture now takes our total (including their matched funding) up to £25,135.
Sight Research UK’s Chief Executive Officer, Lucy Culkin, says,
We have been blown away by the generosity of our supporters this Christmas to ‘Brighten Lives Through Vision Research.’ Together, your contributions will make a sustained impact now and into the future. Thanks to you, we can continue to invest in crucial research, without which none of the treatments, diagnostics, and devices used to tackle sight-threatening conditions would exist. We are incredibly grateful to Newmedica, whose wonderful colleagues have been dedicated to ensuring the success of our Christmas appeal. Thank you, Newmedica, for your extraordinary support, and thank you to the entire Sight Research UK community.
Newmedica’s Managing Director, Rebecca Lythe, adds,
I'm thrilled that we had the opportunity to support Sight Research UK’s 2024 Christmas Campaign. We're proud to have been part of this initiative, helping to raise over £25,000 to advance the fight against eye disease.
Once again, thank you for your kindness and generosity this festive season.
