AMD Week - September 19-25
Each September, we help raise awareness during AMD Week. There will be free eye screenings across the country and other special events to highlight the importance of eye health. We'll notify you of all the events closer to the date. In the meantime, if you have AMD and would like to share your story in a media profile, get in touch.

Derry Outreach Meeting
Last month, we held an outreach meeting in Derry for people interested in our research and counselling services. Over 30 people attended the event where they had an opportunity to learn more about the degenerative conditions we work on. Avril Daly, CEO; Mary Lavelle, Head of Counselling; and Elaine Leinaweaver, Head of Fundraising all attended. It was a great success and we look forward to holding further community outreach meetings later in the year.
