Fundraise for Retina UK

Raise money to help support people affected by inherited sight loss to lead better lives today and accelerate the search for treatments for the future.

We want to do more of what we do best – supporting people affected by inherited sight loss and funding pioneering research. We rely entirely on the generosity of our supporters to fund our vital work, and we are so grateful to everyone who chooses to continue fundraising for Retina UK during these challenging times. With your help, we will make our vision, of a world where everyone with inherited sight loss is able to live a fulfilling life a reality.

Whether you want to set up a regular gift, fundraise for your birthday or support our stamp appeal – there’s lots of ways you can support us during social distancing. If you’d like any advice, our fundraising team are here to help – click to meet the team or take a look at our FAQs.
