Legacies and Memory donations

Over two million people in the UK live with sight loss.

A gift in your will has the power to fund groundbreaking research to discover new treatments and save sight. Thank you.

Memory gifts

Donations given in lieu of flowers helps ensure the continuation of our vital research.
We are very grateful for this generous support.

With your help we can change the lives of future generations who are at risk of blindness. 

 

We remember our Legacy donors

 

Mrs M H Nicholas

 

Children’s eye research in Southampton has been given a huge boost from a generous legacy.  Mrs M H Nicholas left her estate to be used to ‘cure blindness’ in children.

Because of her forethought we have been able to employ staff and purchase equipment to help current paediatric patients and to increase the speed with which research can be initiated.

Her kindness will be remembered by us all.

 

Mrs Winifred M Raymond

Our adult research projects have received a huge boost from an exceptional legacy left to Gift of Sight by Mrs Raymond.  This was an unrestricted gift which means we will be able us to use her legacy to support our vision science team and to help move our project forward at a greater speed.
We will remember Mrs Raymond's generosity into the future
