IAPB wins at Association Awards

International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) has been awarded for Association of the Year and Best Campaign of the Year at the International & European Association Awards (March 31).  

The UK charity was praised for their global advocacy and creative campaigns, with its Love Your Eyes campaign gaining recognition for a ‘visually very attractive, well thought out campaign that has grown exponentially and still has potential left to grow further.’   

IAPB chief executive Peter Holland said: ‘In recent years, together with our members, we have achieved the first ever UN Resolution on Vision, worked with the WHO on global targets for Cataract and Refractive Error, achieved a landmark commitment from Commonwealth Governments on School Eye health and have launched our Love Your Eyes campaign. It is a great honour to be recognised at the International & European Association Awards.’
