I am currently working on NETWORK 1000, which is a three-year project originally conceived in the 1990s by Professor Michael Tobin. Since then, the project has been developed by members of VICTAR in conjunction with Vision 2020 UK, with funding for the project being granted by the Community Fund in April 2003.

The NETWORK 1000 project aims to generate information regarding the needs, circumstances, and opinions of people with a visual impairment in the UK. At present it is developing a nation-wide panel of 1000 subjects representative in terms of age, gender, visual status, ethnic origin, and other defining characteristics of the visually impaired population. The project team will be collaborating with this group to generate information regarding the needs, circumstances and opinions of people with visual impairment.
