The Central Fund’s remit is to support the sector and LOCs in particular, so with the annual LOC AGM season now upon us this brief report is for LOCs about some of our work and to remind them of our wellbeing support.
Our offer to provide a Free CPD accredited Wellbeing Workshop for each LOC has been exceedingly successful and is being extended to enable all LOCs time to take up the opportunity. 22 LOCs have benefited to date and their feedback confirms very high satisfaction levels, with all stating they would recommend the event to other LOCs. More information is on our website.
In other projects, we are once again working with the team at Eye Health UK to provide further funding for National Eye Health week in September. We are also supporting research linked to prescribing and dispensing. Further projects are in development and new applications are welcome.
If you would like us to attend your AGM (virtually) to provide more information, please let us know. Your LOC’s Central Fund regional director and their contact details are on the website.
