Leaving a gift in your will
To cure vision loss within a lifetime.
Entrust us with your legacy
Entrust us with your legacy, and we’ll use our experience and expertise to prevent and treat vision loss within a lifetime.
We'll ensure the money you leave to us will also improve the lives of people living with vision loss today.
Every six minutes someone in the UK hears that they will lose their sight. Other losses follow; friendships, relationships, the self-confidence to step outside the front door. With your gift, we can create a future where no one faces vision loss alone. We’re already funding projects tackling loneliness and isolation throughout the country.
With your legacy – whatever the size - we can put change in sight.
Leaving a gift in your will is a promise you make to future generations.
How to entrust Fight for Sight with your legacy...
There are a number of different ways you can leave a legacy that will improve the lives of people facing and living with vision loss:
A residuary gift
After giving what you want to friends and family, you can leave what’s left (or a percentage of what’s left) to Fight for Sight. This sort of gift will keep its value over time.
A cash gift
You can leave a fixed amount of money to Fight for Sight. Because of inflation, the value of a fixed cash gift will decrease over time, so you may want to review cash gifts from time to time. Alternatively, you can ask your solicitor about linking your cash gifts to the Retail Price Index so they maintain their value.
A gift in kind
You can leave possessions to us, like property, shares, jewellery, or furniture.
In a trust
You can set aside a sum in your will which is left in a trust fund and given to Fight for Sight when the term of the trust fund ends.

Free will service
We have partnered with the National Free Wills Network to offer a free will-writing service for people aged over 55.
By using the Free Wills Network you can get free professional help drafting your will. We will put you in touch with a solicitor who will help you make or amend a simple will at no cost. Then, if you decide to include a gift for Fight for Sight, you'll be part of putting change in sight for future generations.
Get your will written or updated – free of charge
The National Free Wills Network is a free service that enables Fight for Sight supporters to have their will written or updated by local solicitors.
With a professionally written will, you’ll get immense peace of mind – that great feeling that comes from knowing you’ve completed an important task and that you’ve taken care of your family and loved ones. You will also have an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of eye research by including a gift to Fight for Sight.
By leaving a gift to us in your will, you could leave a legacy of sight for generations to come. From common conditions like glaucoma and cataract to a host of lesser-known but equally devastating causes of sight loss, you could ensure that the research teams investigating treatments have the resources they need to make future breakthroughs.
Three easy steps to make or amend your will, free of charge.
- For more information just give us a call on 020 7620 2066 or email info@fightforsight.org.uk and we'll be happy to help.
