Details

This fund has been created in response to the urgent need for people to be able to access consistent, high-quality services wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. This funding will enable organisations to make highly impactful services accessible to more blind and vision impaired people.

Grants of up to £75,000 to groups of between two and four organisations to work together to expand the geographic and demographic reach of existing services.

This could be the fund for you if:

• You're an organisation running a successful project or service for vision impaired people.
• You're keen to use your knowledge and experience so that your project reaches more people with vision loss, and,
• You're open to working with a partner organisation to enable more equitable service provision.
