Raising awareness, Giving support, Seeking a cure | Stargardt’s Connected (Registered Charity Number: 1183570) exists to raise awareness, give support and do what we can to progress towards a cure for Stargardt’s disease, a rare form of inherited central vision loss.

We are here to provide information to families affected by Stargardt’s, signpost them to available support, inform about the latest research, and promote a Stargardt’s community that we hope will assist in driving essential research forward.

October is Blindness Awareness Month! As someone who is visually impaired, I’m on a mission to raise awareness and build connections within our community. This month is a great reminder of the importance of understanding and supporting those of us with visual impairments. In February, I launched Brightside, a support group designed for individuals experiencing vision loss to share their experiences, resources, and encouragement. My aim is to foster a safe space where everyone can connect, learn, and grow together. Let’s collaborate to raise awareness, break down barriers, and uplift one another. I invite you to join our community, share your experiences, and help highlight the realities of living with visual impairment. Design done by our resident graphic designer, Olivia Hart ! #BlindnessAwarenessMonth #VisualImpairment #Community #Support #Brightside
