Core belief
People’s sight matters
Our strategy
We believe that people’s sight matters. Our organisational strategy is built around that core belief and our mission to improve eye health by funding innovation in research, education and care to benefit Moorfields’ patients.
Our six year strategy (2021 – 2027) outlines our ambitious objectives for the charity and our role supporting the work of Moorfields and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology.
It responds to what we’ve achieved over recent years, the impact of Covid-19 on society and eye health care, and where we want to be in the future.
There’s an emphasis on innovation in clinical care and staff wellbeing and development. With Oriel, the proposed centre for advancing eye health, planned for 2026/27, at the core of the strategy.
Our strategy brings together all aspects of our work and focuses them around our new central vision and mission, and the core belief.
