Important report about charity funding for research infrastructure includes case study on @EyeCharity funding for @Moorfields and @UCLeye new advanced eye health centre. Our staff member Jack Hamer went on part-time secondment to @AMRC to work on the report.
AMRC charities have invested £2.2 billion in UK research infrastructure over the last 10 years.

We’re very grateful to @MoorfieldFriend for their £1 million gift to the new eye centre, a @moorfields @ucl @EyeCharity partnership which will enable clinicians, researchers and educators to work together helping to save people’s sight and change lives moorfieldseyecharity.org.uk/…
Amazing atmosphere at @EyeCharity #EyeToEye 10th anniversary sponsored walk. First time with street party.
Wonderful tribute to @BristolUni VC and @EyeCharity trustee Professor Sir Eric Thomas. drive.google.com/drive/folde…
Always love the buzz of the @IooECR annual symposium, meeting the next generation of future research leaders. @eyecharity sponsors various prizes, including best lay research summary.

We know we've got a long way to travel on diversity and inclusion, but our annual staff survey results (which had a 96% participation rate) show that our staff are highly engaged, so we are starting from a good position.
📢 We're #hiring a diversity and inclusion adviser!
This role is crucial in our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive working environment by helping us to shape, implement and drive change, with real and long-lasting impact for our organisation.

Very much looking forward to working with Louise as our future chair. I’m sure she will make an outstanding contribution as does our current chair Mervyn Walker to our work supporting @Moorfields and @UCLeye to benefit eye health patients in London and around the world.

As #ARVO2024 ends, what an incredible conference it has been! With over 90 presentations from @Moorfields and @UCLeye researchers and staff, we're uniting globally to tackle the challenges of eye disease and vision loss through collaborative research. brnw.ch/21wJDaf
