What our teams say

Work with us

“It’s amazing to be part of an organisation where everyone works so hard to achieve the same goal. I feel part of something important and that the work I do is valued. I feel that what we do really helps people, and that my own lived experience of sight loss helps me make a difference and inspire others who are diagnosed with macular disease, to get the advice and support they need to move forward after diagnosis.”
