Our Vision
Our Vision
A future where people living with sight loss are equal citizens and preventable blindness is a thing of the past.
Our Mission
To make London a shining example of a sight loss aware city.
Our Purpose
To transform the lives of people facing or living with sight loss by funding projects which inform, empower and include.
Our Values
Our values reinforce everything we do. They shape the way we work and the culture we endeavour to instil.
We collaborate.
The problems we seek to address are complex – no one organisation can do it alone. We wish to learn and share knowledge, combine skillsets and expertise, amplify impact and enable innovation.
We empower.
It is individuals with sight loss who have the insight, skills and experience to identify the most important issues, influence others, and bring about lasting change.
We work intelligently.
The issue of sight loss spans research, health, stigma, employment, culture, sport, transport, safety, economics, equality and more. Without an intelligent, evidence-based approach, our efforts will not be focussed to bring about the greatest impact.
We are courageous.
Sight loss is a growing, urgent problem. Every day, people needlessly lose their sight for life. Every day, people unfairly miss out on opportunities. Every day, people face abuse, disregard, isolation, poverty and depression. We must be brave today to bring about a brighter tomorrow.
Our Strategy
Everything we do is driven by the hopes, fears and lived experiences of the people our work supports. As such our strategy has been put together with extensive input from our staff, trustees, volunteers and supporters, as well as the wider sight loss sector.
This strategy is designed to be a framework for achieving our goals, and provide clarity about how and what is to be done, while allowing space to respond to change.
It is ambitious and audacious, but also achievable and auditable. And it is built with the ability to be scalable – such that we can accelerate, or slow down activity based on funding and opportunity.
