SAVE THE DATE - Gift of Sight Lecture, evening of 14 May 2025
More details available soon.
We'd love you to host a fundraising event!
A fundraising event, such as a coffee morning (or afternoon tea!) is a great way to let friends know about a cause you’re passionate about. We’d be happy to support you with any event plans. We can provide collection boxes, posters and to help share ideas. Of course we’d be delighted to come along if invited!
Please get in touch with Ailsa (02380 599073) or Jennie (02380 5995924) or email info@giftofsight.org.uk. We'd love to chat your ideas through with you!
Albinism Research - please support fundraising for this vital study
A clinical trial was originally planned to start this year as part of the OLIVIA study, led by Dr Helena Lee. However, the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have requested data requiring a significant amount of additional work, before giving authorisation for the trial to proceed. Unfortunately, there are no funds available to carry out this work, which means that it is now necessary to apply for new funding to get the trial underway.
Some very kind parents have offered to fundraise to help Helena's team obtain the data that will be necessary to recommence the trial . We're hugely grateful for their generosity and will be delighted if you will generously support them. Here are the links to their Justgiving pages, which share their personal stories: Thank you.
Abby Arrowsmith is also fundraising for Dr Helena's research with Gift of Sight (justgiving.com)
THANK YOU :To everyone who has helped us out by fundraising in so many ways. Please see our Fundraising Gallery for past events.
