It’s your LAST CHANCE to make a donation to our ‘Seeing Is Believing’ charity campaign, which closes at midnight tonight.

Why your support is critical:
We are searching for answers surrounding eye conditions and diseases by investing in vital research. Without sight-saving research, those diagnosed with sight loss and blindness are left in the dark.

We need you for this final hurdle. Please help us make these last few hours count!

“There are so many dedicated and passionate researchers working in the area of ophthalmology – all committed to finding out more about eye disease and developing new diagnostics or therapeutics. There is so much innovation in the field – and that makes me hopeful!”

Dr Beth Mills and her team at The University of Edinburgh are currently developing a lateral flow device to screen for a sight-threatening condition called microbial keratitis. This tool, similar to those used to test for coronavirus and pregnancy, could minimise the risk of sight loss by saving precious time to obtain a diagnosis.

We are bringing hope into focus at Sight Research UK. Your donations towards sight-saving research help scientists like Beth turn innovative ideas into real-world solutions. Until 31 December, dive into the spirit of this season with a gift that will be doubled by our partners at Newmedica!

THANK YOU! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We have smashed our target of £20,000 today- and we couldn’t have done it without you! Watch a special thank you message from our CEO, Lucy Culkin, below ⬇️

Your donations to our Christmas campaign, which includes £10,000 of match funding from Newmedica, will go towards vital research projects aiming to prevent and treat sight loss.

You can still donate to our ‘Seeing is Believing’ festive fundraiser until midnight on 31 December. Even though our matched funding target has been reached, you can still give a gift of vision that will ensure clearer futures for today, tomorrow and the generations to come…

“I support Sight Research UK as, having had 2 cataract operations, I know the difference that eye surgery can make.

With the population living longer, there will be many more people living with impaired vision. Anything which can mitigate this situation is worthy of support.

We have a beautiful world, so let’s see it in sharp focus!”

Every day in the UK, approximately 250 people start to lose their sight. Felicity supports our daily efforts at Sight Research UK to stop this from happening- and you can make a difference too!

This festive season, become part of this journey with us by donating to our ‘Seeing Is Believing’ campaign.

Every donation you make towards sight-saving research will be doubled by our partners at Newmedica, meaning your gift will go twice as far in helping to create a clearer future for those living with sight loss.

There are 2 weeks left of our ‘Seeing is Believing’ festive fundraiser to raise funds for vital sight-saving future research projects.

Already, thanks to your kindness and generosity, our matched giving campaign has so far raised £12,908* towards our goal this Christmas!

This is a phenomenal start, which has been made possible because of you. But we are determined (with your help!) to reach our total of £20,000.

And until 31 December, your gifts to Sight Research UK will be matched penny for penny by our partners at Newmedica.

To see your gift of vision go twice as far, DONATE TODAY: https://bit.ly/4j4efkr

*Includes matched funding from Newmedica

There are so many reasons to support sight research. For Mikki, it’s about helping those living with vision loss to maintain autonomy of their own lives.

“I donated to Sight Research UK because sight is something many of us take for granted.

Supporting research that can prevent vision loss means giving people the chance to see their loved ones more clearly, continue to do what they enjoy doing, and keep their independence.”

Stand with Mikki and give a gift of vision today. Your donations will go towards critical future research projects at Sight Research UK to combat sight loss and blindness.

Donate before Tuesday 31 December, to see your donation doubled by our partners at Newmedica!

After being diagnosed with chorioretinopathy (a rare strain of uveitis), Tricia took part in and subsequently won Series 3 of the BBC Race Across the World.

Tricia showed the world her determination and grit. She never let her sight loss hold her back. Now she uses her voice to amplify the importance of vision research.

Last Christmas, Tricia spoke with us at Sight Research UK about her views on supporting charities and donating to eye research.

This December, we are inching ever closer to our goal of bringing hope into focus for those living with sight loss and blindness.

As part of our ‘Seeing is Believing’ festive fundraiser, we’ve set ourselves an ambitious target: to raise at least £20,000 towards vital future research projects that will aim to prevent, diagnose, and ultimately treat eye conditions.

Thanks to you - our supporters- we have so far raised £7,364!

We are (almost) halfway to reaching our goal! Please can you help us get there? Any donation, no matter how big or small, will be matched pound for pound until 31 December thanks to our partners at Newmedica.

Just like the magic of the season, your £10 becomes £20, your £40 becomes £80, and so on...

What are you waiting for? Give a gift of vision today.

Last week, we paid a visit to our neighbours over at Newmedica Bristol to promote our 'Seeing is Believing' festive fundraiser (say hi to our Fundraising Manager, Kerri)!

We met and chatted with many of the lovely patients and staff about our Christmas campaign, where every donation made until 31 December is being matched pound for pound by Newmedica, up to the value of £10,000.

As well as eating a mince pie or two, we were delighted to raise £50.59 on the day, which will go towards vital future sight research projects. And with matched funding, that brings this total to £101.18!
