Fight for Sight, the operating name of the British Eye Research Foundation, is offering grants of up to £30,000 for projects that support and empower blind and vision impaired children and young people with the tools to live independent and fulfilling lives.
The proposed work needs to build social, digital and self-advocacy skills, so that vision impaired children and young people feel connected with each other, with their sighted peers, and with the wider communities around them.
There is particular interest in applications from organisations who are collaborating in order to share best practice, deliver at scale or meet previously unmet need.
Applications will be considered from
- UK registered charities
- Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIO)
- Charitable companies, limited by guarantee
- Community Interest Companies (CIC), limited by guarantee
- Exempt charities (eg, educational establishments)
Applicants must directly support blind and vision impaired people or people at risk of losing sight.
The funder is keen to hear from organisations of all sizes that are based in the community, people-powered, and are working to achieve local change.
The deadline for applications is 14 October 2024 (23:59).
