People invited to share 'vision' for new eye hospital
Sunderland Echo
|August 18, 2025
Charity appeal targets 'extras' to support specialist treatment
NHS fundraisers are looking for people to share their 'vision' to provide world-class treatment for people with eye problems in the North East.
The new £48million Sunderland Eye Hospital is due to open next summer - replacing the ageing Sunderland Eye Infirmary which has, over nearly 80 years, established the city's reputation for sight treatment.
The Vision Appeal - launched by South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust's official STS Charity - aims to build on that heritage with £1million worth of 'extras' for people undergoing eye treatment - and it is calling on local people to get involved by organising fundraising events.
STS Charity already has a partnership with Events of the North - which organises the annual Sunderland City Runs and the Tidal Trails event which was held over the weekend in South Tyneside.
