From moments missed to moments that matter
800,000 people with learning disabilities are living with a sight problem in the UK. As many as half are not getting the support they need - they are missing moments that matter.
Over the next five years, we have an ambition to expand our services to reach 25,000 more children and young people in special schools, ensuring that far fewer lives are lived out of focus.
To deliver eye care support that changes lives, we need to raise £31 per child.
Your support can change lives
No one should miss a lifetime of moments because they were never given access to basic eye care. With the right support, everything can change for a child in an instant.
£31 could help provide eye care support for a child.
£310 could help provide eye care support for a whole class.
£1,860 could help provide eye care support for an entire school.
Every gift helps someone see clearly, connect with others, and live more independently.
The problem
When sight problems go unnoticed, life doesn’t stop – but it does narrow.
Over time, moments of learning, connection and independence quietly slip away.

What we do
We provide specialist eye care and vision support for people with learning disabilities at every stage of life.
We support children with sight tests in special schools, with glasses provided and support to use them.
We support young people to build confidence, independence and access to the world around them.
We support adults with vision rehabilitation and accessible pathways into community eye care services.
This is practical, proven support that changes lives every day.
Partner with us
We are building partnerships with people and organisations who want to create lasting change.
By working together, we can expand proven services, reach new communities, and ensure more people are no longer left living with avoidable sight loss.
To explore partnership opportunities, please contact James Hay (Head of Strategic Partnerships) or Hannah Du Gray (Philanthropy Lead).
We are kindly supported by Tatsu Partners.
