Be the catalyst for sight research

Major gifts have the power to transform lives. Your support helps fund pioneering research and drive social change for everyone affected by sight loss. Together, we invest in science that brings hope – and a clearer future.

We consider a major gift being anything over £5,000. Whether you’re a Trustee, Trust or Foundation seeking more information, or an individual or family exploring philanthropic giving, we’d be delighted to speak with you about your interests and motivations.

Join us in creating a clearer future

A meaningful partnership

We take a personalised approach to philanthropy, ensuring your gift reflects your values and interests. You’ll receive tailored updates on the progress of the work you support, with opportunities to meet the researchers driving innovation in sight-saving science.
We also invite you to exclusive events and site visits, where you can connect with fellow supporters and see the tangible impact of your generosity.
