Volunteers are highly valued members of the Retina UK team and essential to our ability to achieve our vision of a world where all those affected by inherited retinal conditions are able to live a fulfilling life.

Our partnerships are mutually beneficial. For Retina UK this means we can fund more research and offer support on a local level, while our partners can achieve corporate social responsibility objectives whilst making a tangible impact.

We regularly make applications for grants to fund our information and support projects and have recently been successful in securing £12,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund.
