Following our announcement last year to rebrand and change from Vision Aid Overseas to Vision Action, we have been overwhelmed with support and decided to mark the occasion by hosting an informal relaunch event in London this July, to raise awareness and highlight the amazing work we have achieved with our partners and funders and the impact that this has on the lives of people with vision loss.
The event took place on Saturday 8th July 2023 at Apothecaries’ Hall in Black Friars Lane in heart of London, were our members, partners, staff and volunteers gathered for an eventful evening of networking and sharing of experiences. The event was jammed packed with insightful presentations, and a lively panel discussion led by the Vision Action Chair, Prof Nora Colton.
James Riggs, Vision Action CEO said, “I’d like to thank everyone who came to support us at our relaunch event at Apothecaries Hall. It was a great opportunity to celebrate our shared history and the work done over the years by Vision Aid Overseas, and by Vision for a Nation, as well as to let people know about our new name, branding and our strategy moving forward.
“The event was a huge success, and it was great to see our members and volunteers all in one place engaging with our new brand and our plans for the future. We’ve helped support thousands of adults and children across the four countries in Africa we currently support and by having a positive vision for the future and taking action to help create affordable eye care services; we can make sure that no one is left behind.”
From all the team here at Vision Action and from our teams in Africa we would like to thank everyone who attended and helped ensure it was a memorable evening, if you couldn’t make the event but are interested in helping our charity, supporting our partnerships and fundraising – then you can find more information on how to get involved and how to support us here.
