Mrs Olive (Joan) Caldwell

Joan was a huge supporter of Gift of Sight and frequently made the trip from Guernsey to attended our events. Her exceptionally generous legacy has funded a significant growth in our research team, particularly supporting projects into age-related macular degeneration. A good friend to our fundraising and research teams her sense of fun and her kindness will remain with us all.

Mrs M H Nicholas

Children's eye research in Southampton was given a huge boost from a generous legacy from Mrs Nicholas. She left her estate to be used to cure blindness in children. Her forethought means we have been able to move our paediatric research forward. Her kindness will be remembered by us all

Mrs Winifred M Raymond

Our adult research projects received a huge boost from a legacy left to Gift of Sight by Mrs Raymond. This was an unrestricted gift, helping us to fund scientists working on vital research projects.

Fred and Mary Wilson

Fred and Mary were good friends to Gift of Sight. We enjoyed visits to their home and were very sad to learn of Mary's death, followed within a short time by the loss of Fred. We miss the contact with them but their generous bequest has enabled us to continue funding scientists to continue studies into age-related macular degeneration.
