Needs and aspirations of blind and partially sighted people

Revenue and capital grants, generally up to £10,000 and occasionally over £10,000, are available to UK registered charities for new and innovative projects which provide support to blind and partially sighted people across the United Kingdom. The Thomas Pocklington Trust's strategic priorities are to increase awareness and understanding of the needs and aspirations of blind and partially sighted people. These include acting as an advocate and positive change agent, being an effective partner and grant funder based on knowledge of the sector, creating opportunities for employment, enabling opportunities and supporting people in and entering education, and facilitating voice and encouraging self-determination of blind and partially sighted people. The Trust offers grants to UK registered charities for new and innovative projects in areas including infrastructure and impact development, insights and research, and innovation seed funding. Projects should have transformative benefits to the lives of blind and partially sighted people.
