How you can combine fundraising, inclusion, and accessibility at your virtual special event
About this session
In February this year, the Vision Foundation launched its centenary fundraising appeal with its biggest virtual event to date: Sight Loss in the Spotlight: Taking Centre Stage. Featuring high profile supporters Dame Judi Dench, Hayley Mills, and Stephen Fry the event attracted over 500 guests, the majority of whom were new to the organisation.
