Our funding builds connections and confidence and boosts independence.
The Resilience Fund
We’re committed to supporting community organisations to step up for blind and vision impaired people. Our resilience fund provides unrestricted funding to help sight loss organisations become more sustainable.
"The Resilience Funding from Fight for Sight will ensure Usher Kids UK can continue to support and empower the families they work with, while growing capacity to reach more people."

The social change fund
The social change fund exists to ignite and accelerate projects that will change the lives of blind and vision impaired people in the UK. We’ve funded projects tackling issues including loneliness and isolation, employment, and domestic violence and abuse.

What we fund
We fund research that increases understanding of what it means to be blind or vision impaired in the UK today— for example, experiences of loneliness and isolation, employment, being a survivor or victim of domestic abuse. The work we fund impacts individuals, sectors and society:
Individuals: Everyone's experience of vision loss is different. The research and projects we fund seek to impact individuals throughout the UK.
Sector: We share the results of our research and the impact of the projects we fund, to inform people across and beyond the vision loss sector.
Society: The insights we gain from our impact help influence societal change and make it easier for others to replicate success.
