Remember Us In Your Will

For over 40 years, we have led the fight to find treatments and cures for blindness through world-class research, patient support programmes, and advocacy to ensure equal access to care and emerging therapies.
By leaving a legacy, you help continue this vital work — bringing us closer to protecting and restoring vision for future generations.
Your kindness can help change the future of sight.
Why Leave a Gift in Your Will?
A gift in your Will can help to:

Free Online Will Writing Service
Writing or amending your Will need not be difficult or expensive. Fighting Blindness offers a Free Will Service for our supporters and their partners. You can create a simple Will, free of charge, using an online Will writing service. We are a charity partner of FreeWill Ireland. The FreeWill offering will be suitable for many people, but for those with more complex circumstances, it is generally recommended to use the services of a solicitor. There’s no obligation to do so, but we would be extremely grateful if you could support us with a gift in your Will. Leaving a gift to Fighting Blindness helps fund life-changing research to prevent sight loss and restore vision. Your legacy will bring hope, independence, and brighter futures for generations living with sight-threatening conditions.
