Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The advancement of health and the relief of those in need of refractive vision correction in populations which lack access to eye care professionals by undertaking or funding research into self-refraction and the development of improved products based on self-refraction and by providing eyeglasses to such persons either directly or by supplying, training or funding third party distributors.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

The charity is developing two major programmes to help people who need glasses but lack access to eye care professionals. Self-refraction using adaptive spectacles offers a scalable solution to this problem and the clinical efficacy and logistical efficiency of such an approach have previously been demonstrated in peer-reviewed clinical trials and pilot distributions throughout the developing world. The charity’s universal access programme aims to establish the availability of glasses to everyone, everywhere at the minimum sustainable cost of delivery. Access to glasses depends on local availability of both a suitable product and the knowledge required to identify poor visual acuity and supervise self-refraction. By establishing a pool of trained volunteers in every region, we can build the capacity to train local distributors, including teachers in schools or members of other local institutions or not-for-profit organisations, or local businesses or entrepreneurs selling glasses to their communities. Similarly, by establishing regional hubs for the warehousing and wholesale supply of adaptive spectacles, we can ensure the availability of a suitable product to any local distributor. Rather than building our own full distribution network, the purpose of the universal access programme is to enable a range of approaches to delivery by public sector, commercial and not-forprofit organisations, so that we can learn which are most effective in each given geographical, cultural and economic context. The targeted delivery programme aims to provide glasses at no cost (or subsidised so as to be universally affordable) to the highest priority population, which we have identified as children in developing world schools. The charity will coordinate delivery of adaptive spectacles to children in schools in developing world countries, directly or in collaboration with local partners.

In designing these programmes, the trustees considered the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
