Reviewing the progress we make each year against our strategic goals.

Paula Long’s paintings are a bold celebration of colour, from shimmering sunsets over poppy fields to tactile depictions of trees, yellow leaves embellished with gold flecks or multicoloured boughs dotted by bright beads.   Paula, 61, is pictured here doing a painting in her well-lit living room. Paula was diagnosed with Glaucoma in 2008.

In 2025/26, we continued to make strong progress against our strategy, building momentum and delivering meaningful impact for people affected by vision loss across the UK.

Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and increasing pressure on the voluntary sector, we have remained focused on achieving the greatest possible difference, while building the foundations that will enable us to do even more in the years ahead.

We continue to be driven by lived experience, evidence, and expert panels, prioritising investment in high-potential research and social change projects. This year we’ve also focused on strengthening the partnerships, networks and capabilities that will accelerate progress towards our mission.

Save Sight.

We strengthened our investment in research and social impact by focusing on collaboration which we know will deliver treatments and change. Through our grants, we supported research ranging from PhD studentships nurturing the next generation of vision researchers to small grants enabling early-stage ideas and discoveries to take shape.

Change Lives. 

We also invested in social change projects that accelerate impact. Through our social change grant programmes, we continued to invest in initiatives that improve the lives of blind and vision impaired people today. This included the Acceleration Fund, which focuses on taking projects that work well and scaling them up through partnerships.
