“Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Macular Society's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The Directors of the Macular Disease Society agreed in 2023 to move the financial year end of the Society from 31 December to 31 March.”
- “Our Lived Experience Advisory Panel launched in late 2024 is made up of 15 people with either lived experience of a macular condition themselves or as a carer for someone with macular disease.”
- “In 2023/4 we became a member of the UK Aging Research Funders Forum (UKARFF).”
- “In early 2024, we secured funds (£100k) for the Virtual Eye Initiative.”
- “In March 2025 we hosted a scientific meeting to help progress to the next stages of the initiative and formation of research projects to be implemented as PhD studentships.”
- “Through the second half of 2024 and early 2025, we have been making progress on developing a clinical trial network for ophthalmology.”
