Our strategy for Sight Scotland Veterans sits under our organisation-wide strategy.
Our Vision
An inclusive Scotland where people of all visual abilities have the opportunity to thrive.
Our Mission
Support, campaign and research for people affected by visual impairment.
Our Priorities
For more than two centuries, we’ve been supporting people in Scotland who are impacted by vision impairment. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, but we want to do more. We will build on our rich history to create an organisation which is prepared for the future, and ready to respond to the needs of people impacted by vision loss.
We’ve identified five key priorities for the next three years:
-
Investing our funds in the support that makes the biggest difference
-
Putting our community at the heart of what we do
-
Campaigning for positive political and social change
-
Accelerating prevention and treatment of eye conditions through medical research
-
Fostering a collaborative culture of innovation and learning
Our values
Our three organisational values underpin this strategy, and all of the work we do at Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans.
We transform outcomes for people with sight loss
We connect with partners and communities to support more people
We care about those we work with and want them to flourish
Sight loss destroyed my confidence. At first I was hiding in the house but Sight Scotland Veterans never gave up on me and kept encouraging me. Without their support I would have been absolutely lost. Everyone has been so supportive and gradually brought me back to life. They have taught me cooking skills adapted to sight loss to help me keep independent at home. They even helped me to experience cycling again. The centre is expertly run and the people care deeply about what they’re doing. I can’t praise it enough.
