We have now reached our target in The Big Give 2024. Thank you for your support. If you would like to make a donation to our work, please consider supporting our Gene Team Appeal.
This December, we’re pleased to be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge – where for one week only, your donations to Retina UK can be doubled at no extra cost to you. By supporting us this winter, your donations will go towards funding our upcoming medical research projects in 2025 and beyond. Thank you for your fantastic support.

Make a donation to our Gene Team Christmas Appeal and help us to support our exceptional scientists!
Your support means we can fund even more scientists, even more research and help even more people. We know that times are tough for everyone at the moment, but your donation ensures that research continues, and treatments are found faster. Thank you for helping to change someone’s life.
Since 2017, through The Big Give, you have helped us raise more than £250,000 to invest in research into inherited sight loss. What an amazing achievement – thank you so much for each and every donation!
- Make a donation via the Big Give Christmas Challenge website between midday on 3 December and midday on 10 December
- Your donation will be doubled thanks to match funding provided by generous funders
- Your contribution to ground-breaking inherited sight loss research will go twice as far whilst the match funding pot lasts:
- A donation of £7.50 will be doubled to £15, which would buy sterile pipettes that researchers need to feed and maintain cell cultures.
- A donation of £50 will be doubled to £100, which could pay for four hours of medical research into potential treatments for people with inherited sight loss.
- A donation of £100 will be doubled to £200, which could buy an antibody needed for crucial experiments to see how RP mutations affect protein levels within light sensing photoreceptors.
