A gift in your will

Leaving a gift in your will can provide hope for future generations.

Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to support the causes you care about. For some people, it’s a way to make a larger gift than was possible during their lifetime or a way to make sure that services continue to support generations to come.

A legacy to one of our charities will enable us to continue being there for local people with sight loss. We aim to make sure that everyone can continue to live a full and independent life after they have lost their sight. A gift of £25,000 would fund one of our Community Sight Loss Advisors for a whole year.

Leaving a gift is simple
