Moorfields Eye Charity appoints Louise Robertshaw as trustee 

Louise has considerable experience working at a senior level and as a trustee at national charities including in the sight loss sector and linked to the NHS. 

She is committed to furthering engagement and support through fundraising, communications, public policy and campaigning. 

She will take on this important role at the charity as it grows its income to over £10 million a year when the new centre for advancing eye health opens in St Pancras, Camden in 2027.

Moorfields Eye Charity is the leading charity in the UK funding research into eye health and innovation and improvement in patient care to help patients at Moorfields and globally. 

It is a partner in the creation of the new eye health centre with Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology accelerating the discovery of new treatments which will transform lives in the UK and globally. Philanthropy is vital to delivering this.

Louise is currently group director of engagement at Sense, the charity that supports children and adults who are deafblind or who have other complex disabilities and their families. 

Louise is also a trustee at the Thomas Pocklington Trust, a charity that supports people who are blind or partially sighted particularly through education and employment.

Louise’s previous roles were director of fundraising and marketing at London’s Air Ambulance Charity and head of marketing and communications at The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
