Keith Valentine is the first and only visually impaired head of a national sight loss organization in the UK.As the President and CEO of Vision Foundation, London's leading sight loss charity, Valentine guides an organization that provides services for blind and visually impaired people countrywide. He also has plans to increase the organization's research commitment.In March 2023, Vision Foundation merged with Fight for Sight, the leading UK charity dedicated to stopping sight loss through pioneering research. Combined with Vision Foundation's legacy as a service provider, the new organization intends to make a bigger impact on both science and services.Valentine said out of all the sight loss funding currently available in the UK, the majority goes toward much-needed services. Only a small slice is available for research. Vision Foundation currently distributes about £2 million per year to fund research, and it's one of the larger UK sight loss charities.Valentine told host Rob Rothman, MD, the deficit of research funding “will be felt by the investor community and the scientific community. It will affect the sustainability of science in the UK and the ability to attract people to ophthalmology as a profession.”Valentine intends to use what he learned in both the private and non-profit sectors to avert that deficit.Listen to the podcast today to discover:More about Valentine's background, including his transition from the private sector to nonprofit sight loss, and how his experience with retinitis pigmentosa influenced his career path.The structure and scope of the charitable sight loss sector in the UK, including its approach to funding.How Valentine's experience as a start-up founder influences his role leading a nonprofit.How Valentine plans to accelerate Vision Foundation's scientific investment.His thoughts on whether nonprofits could or should benefit financially from their scientific investments and what that would look like.The potential and risks involved for nonprofits that invest alongside venture capital firms to advance innovation.[Listen Now]ResourcesVision Foundation                   visionfoundation.org.ukKeith Valentine:                       linkedin.com/in/keith-valentine-70281635Robert Rothman, MD:            ois.net/robert-rothman-md

Lucinda and Russ are joined by Keith Valentine, chief executive of Fight for Sight, to look behind the scenes of the sight loss research charity's ongoing merger with the Vision Foundation.Keith describes how the merger was motivated by a quest for growth, responding to the absence of a national funder that combined scientific research with service delivery for visually impaired people.He talks about the operational practicalities of bringing two organisations together, as well as his personal experience of being the only visually impaired chief executive working in the national sight loss sector.The interview is preceded by a discussion on the findings of the recently published Good Merger Index, which revealed a sharp dip in the number of charity mergers in the past year.

On a recent edition of In Touch, we heard about Accessible In Home Displays, or AIHDs. These devices are essentially energy smart meters that have been adapted to provide, for example, a text to speech facility. We were told that they should be available from energy companies for blind people who requested them. However, many listeners have told us that this has not been their experience. We take a closer look. And Olivia Curno, CEO of "The Vision Foundation" and Keith Valentine, CEO of "Fight for Sight" join us with exclusive news on plans to tackle both the prevalence and impact of sight loss.

Previously on In Touch, Dr Peter Hampson, clinical Director of the Association of Optometrists warned of a possible link between Covid-19 and sight loss. We talk to Criminal Lawyer Paul Bacon and former children's Laureate Michael Rosen about their personal experience of this. We also get an update from Dr Hampson on what the latest data tells us. Retinitis Pigmentosa is the most common inherited eye condition, affecting around one in four thousand people in the UK. Currently, there is no known cure or effective treatments that can stop it's progression. Do the latest scientific advances give those affected grounds for optimism or would that be misplaced? The charity Fight for Sight is funding research to try and uncover new treatment strategies. We talk to their CEO, Keith Valentine and researcher Mike Cheetham to get their thoughts.
