SeeAbility honoured

Specialist optical charity SeeAbility took home the Overall Award for Excellence during an online ceremony for The Charity Awards 2021.

Judges at the ceremony praised SeeAbility’s work providing specialist eye care within special schools and noted the success of its campaign to involve the NHS in this work.

‘We shouldn’t underestimate how complex it is to get the attention of a multi-layered bureaucracy like the NHS at national level, and to produce a model that can be rolled out in a devolved health environment,’ said Martin Edwards, a judge at the awards.

SeeAbility was also awarded the top prize in the healthcare category.
