Leaving a gift in your Will
Why leave a legacy gift?
Big or small, a gift in your Will helps us to achieve our mission of supporting local people with sight loss of all ages in Norfolk to overcome barriers to independence and to live the lives they want.
There are over 36,000 people in Norfolk with sight loss and this figure is continuing to grow year on year. With your funds, we can continue to:
- Tackle social isolation amongst people with vision impairment, through social and leisure opportunities, befriending and other support
- Provide practical help to people with vision impairment in the community and in their own homes through community outreach and using our network of volunteers
- Deliver expert support in the clinical environment by providing staff and volunteers in eye clinics, especially to help people at the point they first start losing their sight
- Enable people with sight loss to live independently by providing supported permanent accommodation
- Support children and young people and their families living with sight loss practically, emotionally and socially
- Campaign on issues which will enable people with visual impairment to live independent and fulfilled lives
Our services have provided a lifeline for people across Norfolk for over 200 years and your legacy will help us ensure we are here for the next 200 years.
Why are they so important?
Vision Norfolk has relied on legacies since its inception and this channel has provided the backbone of our funding. The legacy market is changing due to the increase in financial uncertainty and as more families pass on their inheritance to their loved ones. Nevertheless, we ask that you do think about charitable giving when making your Will.
