The Capacity Building Fund is designed to support the creation of a sight loss sector that is coherent, sustainable and resilient to the rising demand for equal services across the UK. The fund offers unrestricted grants for organisations in the sight loss sector across the UK whose growth and sustainability are challenged by the uncertain economic climate and cost of living crisis. The grants will focus on two key areas: collaboration between organisations within the sight loss sector and between the sight loss sector and external organisations, and small charities and grassroots organisations.
