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.

In 2014 we funded an exciting new collaborative project. The UK Inherited Retinal Dystrophy Consortium (UKIRDC) Project brought together the four largest research groups in the UK specialising in inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

Our volunteers are highly valued members of the Retina UK team and their roles are essential to help support and enable people affected by inherited sight loss to live fulfilling lives.
