Thomas Pocklington Trust

Thomas Pocklington Trust is a charity committed to increasing awareness and understanding of the needs of people with sight loss and to developing and implementing services which meet their needs and improve lives. In short, we are here for people with sight loss Our vision – we aspire to a world in which people with sight loss can participate fully Our values – how we work • Making a difference – the lives of people with visual impairments are better because of what we do • Working in partnership – we work collaboratively with all our partners and stakeholders • Respect – we treat people the way we would like to be treated • Quality – we set clear goals and high standards and work efficiently and effectively to achieve them • Participation – we place the participation of blind and partially sighted people at the heart of everything we do Our strategic aims - we have three strategic aims and these are: Understanding needs – we will build through evidence a deep understanding of the needs of those living with sight loss or at risk of losing their sight and of effective interventions to meet those needs; we will use this knowledge to drive action by the appropriate players in the eye health and sight loss sector. Meeting needs – we will seek to meet these evidenced needs working with our partners. Managing resources – we will seek to maximise our impact across the sight loss sector through the focused management of our resources.
