OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
During the year the charity demonstrated its resilience and adaptability in dealing with tough challenges faced by third sector organisations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
a. Principal activity
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit.
The charity's purpose is to promote ocular health in the primary care sector and to educate the public about ocular health and good vision, and the ways of achieving this.
Specifically, it aims to encourage more people to have regular eye tests, inspire them to make informed decisions about eye care and adopt healthier lifestyles to benefit their eye health (and general well-being).
Its actions will improve the UK's eye health, contribute towards a reduction in avoidable blindness - according to RNIB half of all sight loss in the UK is avoidable - and enhance people's everyday lives.
<< case study >>
Sharing personal stories can be a really effective way to inspire a behaviour change. We worked with The Brain Tumour Charity during National Eye Health Week 2022 to tell Jane's story.
Jane, 46, from Kilmalcom near Glasgow had a brain tumour detected during a routine eye test at her high street optician. This essential health check not only prevented avoidable sight loss but was also a potential life-saver!
b. Activities for achieving objectives
Eye Health UK is the only charity in the UK offering public information on all aspects of eye care.
It provides free, high quality eye health information to the public and to healthcare professionals.
In-line with its objectives for the year the charity managed a series of niche and high-profile public health initiatives, including National Eye Health Week which ran 19 - 25 September 2022.
Multi-channel eye care
The charity continued its multi-channel approach to public health promotion ensuring a diverse range of eye care advice and information was available whenever and wherever people needed it.
The charity considers digital health info to be a key tool for future eye health promotion - 73% of UK Adults use the internet to search for health-related advice. We play a vital role in sharing reliable information on eye care.
More than a quarter of a million people benefited from accessing our online advice and information in 2022.
Popular digital resources included our fact sheets on retinal detachment, blepharitis, cataracts, squint, eyecare for screen users, sight tests and buying sunglasses.
Eye Health UK's public information service also continued to provide a unique and direct response to individuals with concerns about their, or a loved-ones, eye health. The public could access this service via phone or email.
Our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter feeds also helped keep the profession and the public up-to-date with the latest eye care news and provided valuable channels for sharing important and timely eye care advice.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Public health promotion
During 2022 we addressed a wide-range of eye care issues including, dry eye, the effects of excessive alcohol consumption on eye health; eyesight standards for motorists; caring for kids' eyes; smoking and sight loss; the importance of protective eyewear when doing DIY; how air pollution can affect eye health; wearing and caring for your contact lenses and the importance of wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun damage.
These initiatives generated press coverage across the national and local media and helped promote the importance of having regular eye tests as well as educating people about how to maximise their vision and keep their eyes healthy.
Practitioner resources
The charity also continued its commitment to provide eye care practitioners (ECPs), healthcare professionals and educators with tools and resources to assist them in the promotion of engaging eye care messages to their local communities. This includes fact sheets in 30+ alternative languages. See examples below.
Eye health within a wider public health context
To highlight the link between eye health and wider public health issues the charity supported a number of other relevant and high-profile public health campaigns during 2022. These included Diabetes Awareness Week National No Smoking Day and World Menopause Day.
<< case study >>
World Menopause Day on 18 October 2022 saw the launch of the charity's Vision and Menopause campaign. The campaign enjoyed good coverage in the press and was supported by Menopause Queen, Davina McCall who liked and shared our social posts with her 2.7 million social media followers. The campaign also included the publication of a 'Your Eyes & the Menopause' blog written by trustee Rosie Gavzey.

National Eye Health Week (19 - 25 September 2022)
Programme changed to pay our respects
Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September, plans for National Eye Health Week 2022 were revised so the charity and NEHW supporters could observe the period of national mourning and pay their respects to the remarkable life and service of Her Majesty.
After careful consideration it was decided that the Week should go ahead, but on a significantly reduced scale and in-keeping with the national mood.
A major multi-agency campaign on 'Vision and Driving' was cut from the schedule and planned media coverage for the start of the Week was cancelled.
The campaign paid tribute to the late Monarch and fell silent during the period of national mourning before gently launching on Tuesday 20th September.
Leading a national conversation on eye health
From global brands (ExxonMobil) and healthcare champions (NHS 111 call centres) to schools (Fairfield School) and charities (TPT) more than 3,500 individuals and organisations used our resources to help spread the word on eye health during the Week.
50+ supporter assets were published including leaflets, flyers, posters, social posts, recipe cards featuring recipes from TV chef Ainsley Harriott and a Kids' Activity Guide for under 8s
Lifestyle advice for improved eye health
Vista (the official NEHW magazine) was published as both print and digital editions.
This year's issue featured cover star Michaela Strachan talking her experience of living with keratoconus, as well as, handy lifestyle tips & eye care advice to help people keep their eyes and vision healthy.
E-Vista used screen pop-ups to remind readers to 'give their eyes a break' to prevent screen fatigue.
Read the online edition here vistamagazine.co.uk/imag/vista2022/
The magazine has an estimated readership of 1/4 million.
Putting the nation's eye q to the test
Together with Thomas Pocklington Trust we put the nation's 'eye q' to the test to understand how 'smart' we are when it comes to looking after our vision and eye health.
Sadly, our research revealed many Brits lack even the most basic 'know how' when it comes to looking after their eye health.
We published a report on our findings [www.visionmatters.org.uk/eye-q-report/eye-q-report] and shared five key recommendations on how to give our 'eye q' a boost.
Learn about eye tests. What they entail, when you should have them and why they are essential for your eye health and general wellbeing.
Understand how your family's medical history could affect your own eye health and risk of future sight loss. Conditions such as myopia (short-sightedness) and glaucoma have strong genetic links.
Be aware of red flag symptom associated with sight-threatening eye conditions. Conditions like retinal detachment need urgent, often same-day, treatment to prevent or arrest vision impairment.
Appreciate how your lifestyle could be putting you at risk of future sight loss. Consider your diet, exercise regime, smoking status, drinking habits and the amount of time spent outdoors. These can all impact your vision and eye health.
Be screen smart. Prevent screen fatigue by following the 20-20-20 rule [look up from your screen every 20 minutes and focus on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds]. to looking after our vision and eye health.
The report was shared with the media, KOLs including DOHSC, APPG members and optical bodies, as well as, the public.

Social connections
Social media presents a powerful tool for reaching, engaging, and connecting individuals for public health and health promotion. This year's social conversation had a reach of more than 30 million. Accounts joining the social conversation included: Scottish Government, We are Primary Care, Marsha de Cordova MP, NHS area teams, Patients Association.
Instagram enjoyed strong engagement during the Week whilst the charity's Facebook had a reach of around 21.5K.
Optics in the news
During the Week there were more than 600 million 'opportunities to see' eye health messages in the media. Coverage included national and local broadcast, print and internet. Steve Wright chatted about eye health on his Radio 2 show; whilst, My Weekly magazine highlighted top eye care tips; ITV local news covered vision and driving and NI Health Minister Robin Swann called for people to make eye health a priority during eye week in the Belfast Telegraph.
A Vision and Eye Health supplement was published with The Guardian on Fr-eye-day 23 September, featuring eight pages of helpful information and advice about looking after your eyes.
Digital tools
100K+ website visitors experienced life through the eyes of someone suffering vision impairment, used the online eye health calculator to assess their risk of future avoidable sight loss, and accessed important advice and information on caring for their eyes.
Public reaction
Online search and interest in eye health peaks in NEHW. Fig 2. (below) illustrates how the normal operating range for Google searches around eye health is smashed during NEHW - indicating a clear uptick in public interest.
Third party partnerships
The charity continued to build upon the foundations it has established over recent years, working with its supporters as well as third and public sector organisations to extend the reach and impact of its public health promotions.
In particular, the trustees would like to thank and acknowledge the vital support of the official partners of National Eye Health Week: Central Optical Fund, Specsavers, and Thomas Pocklington Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position
a. Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three months expenditure (approximately £18,000 at current levels).
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Reserves at the end of this reporting period amount to £31,083 of which £23,783 were unrestricted reserves and £7,300 restricted reserves. This is surplus to the required minimum set out above.
Free reserves at 31 December 2022 amounted to £23,783 (2021 £41,853).
b. Financial position
The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the charity's activities in the short-term. In these challenging times the trustees consider the financial position to be satisfactory.
The trustees are cognisant of the negative financial impact the pandemic is having on the charity sector and will continue to moderate activity accordingly.
c. Risk review
The trustees recognise their responsibility to manage the risks facing the charity and have implemented a risk management system which includes the maintenance of a risk register.
Risk levels are monitored regularly as part of a wider risk strategy.
The trustees currently consider the maintenance of a sustainable unrestricted / non-commercial income stream to the biggest risk facing the charity.
d. Fundraising
Eye Health UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator, an independent body who set and maintain the standards for charitable fundraising. Public fundraising forms a very small part of the charity's income and is mostly made-up of funds raised by NEHW supporters at charity bake sales.
The number of complaints received by the charity about its fundraising activity is nil.
e. Principal funding sources
Charity income streams include levy payments from eye care practitioners, charitable donations and sponsorship. This income is used to fund the administration of the charity and its public health promotions.
f. VAT
In line with Charity Taxation Regulations the charity adopts a practice of partial exemption on goods and services which promulgate the charity's objects.
FUTURE PLANS
Main activities and achievements planned for 2023 include:
-
Update Charity website
-
Champion prevention message and resources across the health and social care sector
-
Lead on a multi-agency Vision and Driving campaign
-
Manage a series of public health campaigns, including National Eye Health Week 18 - 24 September
-
Retain existing, and introduce new, funding streams.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Charity constitution
The charity was established by its Memorandum (amended by Special Resolution on 5 March 2011) and Articles of Association on 30 November 2000 and is a company limited by guarantee.
The charity's objects, as set out in the Memorandum of Association, are to promote improved ocular health to the public generally; to educate the public about ocular health and good vision and the means of achieving this; and to promote the advancement and improvement of the ophthalmic profession and its suppliers for the public benefit in a generic manner without favouring or promoting any individual supplier of services or appliances.
The trustees are responsible for the governance of the charity; however, the day-to-day running of the charity is delegated to an administrator.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, the board of trustees has the right, from time to time, to appoint a person as a trustee.
The charity has a requirement for a minimum number of six trustees at any one time, up to a maximum of nine.
A potential trustee will be offered for consideration at any time that the board deems appropriate. The appointment of the potential trustee is formally discussed at the next scheduled board meeting. Trustees are considered on the basis of relevant skills, experience, and willingness to take an active part in the running of the charity. Following a majority vote of the existing board of trustees, a potential trustee will be appointed to the board. There is no minimum period of service, and a trustee can retire at any time.
The official appointment requires a quorum to agree the appointment, and, following completion of appropriate Companies House documentation, the new trustee is formally welcomed to the board at the following board meeting.
Organisational structure
The trustees who served the charity during the period were as follows:
DC Cartwright (chairman) RK Plahay (interim vice chair) RN Gavzey (interim secretary) IJG Anderson (ABDO) (Resigned as a director on 16 November 2022) AC Bithell (College of Optometrists) JT Holmes (ABDO) (Appointed as a director on 16 November 2022) R Stoner (OSA formerly FMO) (Appointed as a director on 1 January 2022) SA Tinger (FODO)

All the trustees give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed are set out in note 7 of the accounts.
The subscribers to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the charity are recorded in these documents and will remain for the lifetime of the charity.
Article 2 states that subscribers are admitted to membership and article 2.3 provides for a member retiring providing that the number of members does not fall below two. The Articles of Association are not changed to reflect subsequent changes in membership; these are reflected in the annual accounts and AGM minutes.
Article 29 provides for each member as a subscriber to the charity, to appoint one person as a trustee and to remove such person as a trustee. On retiring as a member this right is terminated and the trustee appointed by this member must also retire.
