Grant offered by Spectacle Makers

The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers’ Charity has announced plans to offer eye health and sight loss organisations the opportunity to apply for a ‘substantial’ three-year grant.

According to the charity, the scheme will give security of funding to significant projects and allow the benefit of new initiatives to be measured over a longer period.

Applicants will need to demonstrate that their work would have national or international benefit and reflect the aims of the charity.

The Master of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, Felicity Harding, said: ‘This commitment is a new venture for the Spectacle Makers’ Charity and one that I am delighted to support. I hope it will provide a real incentive to organisations to undertake projects that will have a lasting impact.’
