Key Life Chances Report 2024/25
Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) is a national charity achieving equality and inclusion for blind and partially sighted (BPS) people, with over half its staff and more than 200 volunteers having lived experience of sight loss. In 2024/25 — the first year of its Key Life Chances strategy — TPT delivered employment support to 350+ people through Works For Me, with 58 securing jobs, and ran 31 Get Set Progress internships, 85% of which led to full-time employment. 333 students received education support and a new joint service with Guide Dogs launched in April 2025. TPT's 25 Sight Loss Councils expanded into Scotland, its #CutItBack campaign reached 100,000+ people, and it co-developed an NHS accessible bowel cancer screening tool. A YouGov-backed APPG report with 21 government recommendations was published jointly with RNIB, and TPT hosted the sector's first Lived Experience Leadership conference.
