What Peek does The Problem 1.1 billion people worldwide have unlrealed vision loss., this number is sel to grow to 1.8 billion by 2050. Simple, ¢osl-effective treatments exist bul specialists are in short supply and resources are limited. Many people who need awss lo eye health remain invisible to services. Our solution Peek's software, programme design and data intelligence platfom) help community and school eye health programmes become more efficient, more equitable and more effective. Users can follow the patient journey from screening to treatment and identify where patients are being left behind. Unique Methodology.. We are outcome-focussed and enable our partners to measure and monitor the metrics that matter in eye health. -*Peek Surveys.. Impacfful programmes begin with understanding people's eye health needs. Peek powers the latest version of the globally-recognised Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness IRAAB71 adult eye health survey and is developing a similar tool for school eye health (School Eye Health Rapid Assessment, SEHRAI.

Peek Vision Foundation 6 E-sign ID.. 3a29c8ef-dc374589-898d-8c006ef51ba8 Trustees, Report Year to 31 December 2021 Achievements and performance Achievements By the end of 2021 there were 21 live programmes powered by Peek reaching more than double the number of people in 2021 than in the previous year. Our dala-led approach is enabling our partners to connect more people lo the care they need with 416,000 patients reached and over 77,000 connected to the care they needed in 2021. Despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on programme expansion the pandemic provided the impetus to accelerate our online training allowing us lo launch programmes remotely, which is a key component of our scaling up strategy. 566 people were trained lo use Peek technology, many of these supported by the new Peek Training portal developed lo deliver online training servI￿s. We work in partnership with eye health providers, govemmenls and NGOS, powering our partners with the tools they need to oplimise eye health screening and referral pathways so that no one is left behind. Together, we aim to make large-scale, sustainable improvements to health systems. By the end of 2021 Peek had 6 partners delivering Peek-powered programmes. Of these, CBM, our anchor partner, was running 13 live Peek powered programmes, including new programmes launched in Tanzania and Ethiopia. Peek has been working with CBM since 2018 and we owe much of our growth in recent years to their support. Our partnership draws on the in-depth technical expertise of CBM in programme delivery and intervention and Peek's unique technology and data insights. By end of December 2021, CBM programmes powered by Peek (since 20181 have reached over 506,000 people, and connected over 108,100 patients to the care they need. Thanks lo the support of CBM and our implementing partners in Pakistan, we participated in key government eye health planning meetings this year. There is high-level support for Peek and its adoption in new districts in Pakistan. As part of a scale up in the Punjab province CBM launched a new community eye health programme in Layyah. 'Ourpartnership with Peekhas enabled us to bring eye Care to thousands morepeople across many countries.

In 2020 we began a major research project investigating a new way for eye health services to rapidly lesl hypotheses and implement changes which work. Inspired by the AJB testing methods routinely used in software development and other industries. the t()ols developed will allow service providers lo rapidly evaluate different ways to improve services. The work was unavoidably delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic but work resumed in 20218nd pilots are expected lo begin in 2022. An adjacent research project, with the same goals, began in late 2021 in partnership with Nepal Netra Jyoli Sangh. We are also working to develop our analysis methodology in partnership with Dr Shroffs Charity Eye Hospitsl in India., this work is supported by a one ye8r Foundation grant. Operation Eyesight Universal launched a school eye health programme in Kenya lo provide quality eye health care to children and their teachers, using Peek's visual acuity app for screening. The programme is funded through support from the United Slates Agency for Intemational Development IUSAIDI Child Blindness Program. Three programmes powered by Peek were launched in partnership with Vision for a Nation in Ghana. We joined a new partner consortium in South Africa, comprising the African Eye Institute IAEII, Coopervision and Essilor, lo conduct a pilot programme in two schools in KwaZulu-Natal. Peek continued to work with the Government of Botswana to lay the foundations for its Pono Yame national school eye health programme. In 2021 we focussed on making the Peek tools more customer focussed and automated as well as enhancing our programme software lo enable users to configure their own programmes. This will save both the Peek team and our partners a lol of lime and resources and by doing this we aim to onboard many more programmes than is currently possible with our small team. It is the first slep of many improvements planned to put more power into the hands of Peek users. A major challenge in eye health is obtaining a reliable understanding of people's eye health needs prior to designing a programme.

RAAB is 8 well-eslablished population-based eye health survey which is used lo assess the prevalence and c8uses of vision impairment and blindness among people aged 50 years and older. It IS 8 Vital tool which enables he81th services to prioritise the eye health needs of their population. Released in December 2021, RAAB7 is the new generation of the RAAB survey. This new version, wwered by Peek, fully digitises the suNey workfiow, provides enhanced functionality and greater efficiency. The result is that users are supported to capture the most accurate eye health planning data possible. Dr Hans Limburg, who first developed the RAAB methodol()gy more than two decades ago and remains an active member of the RAAB7 steering group. said.. 'RAAB provides vital data foreye health planning and evaluation, but the surveys traditionally require manyhours ofmanual data entry from paper based fom?s, and this also increases the risk of inaccuracies. RAA87 digilises and streamlines this pr￿sS lo save users time and resources. It enables them to collect the highest-quality data possible. In 2021 we started work lo develop a similar tool for school eye health, called School Eye Health Rapid Assessment ISEHRAI which will be piloted in 2022. This provides school eye health baseline data lo enable planners lo allocate resources effectively and develop better tsrgeted school eye health programmes. Case study Tembani and her husband James live in rural soulh-easl Zimbabwe. They raised five children together whilst tending lo their land and working in agriculture businesses across the region, with James eventually retiring in 2015. Four years ago, James started lo notice his eyesight deteriorating and by late 2019 he had lost much of his vision. It was a difficult lime for the whole family, as Tembani recalls.. With his vision gone, Jgmes lost much of his independencg, and was unable to help &t 911 around the house and fam7. 1 spent much of my time looknng &fter him. &nd was scared to leave him alone for too long - as I'd come back and he would be in the same spot I'd left him in, even if it W8s no longer in the shade. and he hadn t been able to find his lunch. We lost lot of our crops to the birds as I couldn t work the farm and look afterhim 8t the s8mg time. It was re8lly tough, Peek Vision Foundation 9 E-sign ID.. 3a29c8ef-dc374589-898d-8c006ef51ba8 Trustees, Report Year to 31 December 2021 Achievements and performance Iconlinuedl Achievements (continued) Vision loss does notjusl impact an individual's wellbeing and productivity, il also impacts their wider family and community. But in many cases, people like James are invisible to health services and are at risk of being left behind. Fortunately James benefited from the CBM-Peek programme which was launched near his village in 2020, in partnership with Zimbabwe Council ft)r the Blind. He allended an outreach clinic where he was screened using Peek's smartphone-based tools and informed he had cataracts in both eyes - something which a simple operation could fix. He was referred on and received 8 successful cataract operation in late 2021. Throughout his journey to care, local eye health workers were able to monitor his progress using Peek software, minimising the chance of him f811ing out of the system 8nd being left behind. Following treatment, James is helping around the homestead and Tembani has returned to working on the fami. As James told us.. W17en they removed the bandage l Gould see immediately- it felt like a whole new world. All the mopani trees I'dplanted had grown as ifbymagic, l Gould ￿ad again- l Gould even thread a needlel And all the chores I had suspended I was able to return to. My chicken coop, whic17 was falling apart, is now as good as new. I feel very lucty to have my sight restored. Every day sinGe il has happened has felt like Christmas Day.. Thanks lo our partners and donors, thousands of people like James are being screened and connected lo care each year in eye health programmes powered by Peek. Our ambition is to expand our reach so our partners can connect millions more people like James to care. With the support of our partners and funders, we won't stop until we bring better vision and eye health to everyone. other grants 2021 was the second year that the Peek Vision Foundation awarded ils Peter Ackland Scholarship.

The programme forms the basis for utilising novel, cutting edge techniques within Peek solutions lo determine the success of these new methodologies. Challenges The COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges, both for the programmes using our technology and in how our team supports them. In 2021 there were some ongoing disruptions with temporary pauses to programmes. The main impact was felt on school eye health programmes, partiCLJlarfy in Zimbabwe but by the end of 2021 all programmes were back up and running again. Data Protectioll Agreements {DPAsl with some governments have taken longer than anticipated to reach approval but we have also found the process lo be hugely beneficial to both parties. It was important to work through the stages to ensure an agreement is made that meets the data protection and security measLJres of the government. to remain GDPR compliant and is future proof. Finally, although we were able lo end 2021 in a healthy financial position, we are aware that the COVID-19 pandemic is likely lo have long-term cOnsequen￿S for funding in the sector, which may affect us directly or indirectly through our partners. We spenttime this yearworking with our partners lo ensure our funding model is more resilient to sudden changes, and continue to wort( on diversifying our sources offunding lo improve our long-term sustainability. In parallel we invested in our fundraising capacity to meet our philanthropic targets for 2021 and future years. Futurg plans The Foundation will focus on resourcing the Company to deliver ils 2022-24 strategy to support 100+ programmes across 15+ countries, reaching 100,000 people per week by 2024.

The team is well on the way to delivering this. The Vision Impact Project is a major new collaboration in Kenya scheduled to launch in 2022., it will use Peek sofbNare across 10 COLJnties with more than 8 million people set lo benefit from the initialive. Key to scaling up and sustainability are partnerships with national governments and in 2022 we will focus on building on the partnerships with the govemments of Kenya, Pakistan and Botswana with a view lo having Peek tools as part of their national eye care strategies. 2022 has an exciting programme of research aclivilies, continuing lo build on the long- standing partnership with the International Centre for Eye Health IICEHI.

Unrestricted fLJnds which have not been designated for a specific use should be aimed lo be at a level equivalent to 12 months operating costs where possible but at a minimum should be maintained at a level of 6 month's operating costs or wind up costs, whichever is the greater. The Iruslees consider that resetwes al 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 lo ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reseNes should be maintained throughout the year. In 2021 the minimum target was £1,500,000., this level was maintsined throughout the year. The largel sel for 2022 is a minimum of £1,500,000.11 is a target that will be reviewed throughout the year in light of business and Charitsble developments.
