Vision Foundation

This information was last updated on: 14/06/2024

We are London’s leading sight loss charity, supporting the city’s best projects for blind and partially sighted people.

In 1921 The Greater London Fund for the Blind was set up to support and give a voice to blind and partially sighted people across London. Today we’re called The Vision Foundation and we’re still transforming lives.

We’ve distributed more than £30m to sight loss organisations that work to inform, include and empower London’s visually impaired community. Empowerment is at the heart of what we do; our work focuses on what people can do, rather than what they can’t.

Our Vision

A future where people living with sight loss are equal citizens and preventable blindness is a thing of the past.

Our Mission

To make London a shining example of a sight loss aware city.

Our Purpose

To transform the lives of people facing or living with sight loss by funding projects which inform, empower and include.
