Leave a Lasting Legacy

By leaving a gift in your Will to Vision Support Barrow & District, you’ll help local people with sight loss live with independence, confidence, and connection.

Your legacy will mean no one has to face sight loss alone – today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Why Your Gift Matters

– Every six minutes someone in the UK begins to lose their sight.
– Vision loss can happen at any age, and it brings real challenges – from everyday tasks to overcoming isolation.
– Your support ensures we can provide practical advice, social groups, and opportunities for people to live well and independently.

Whether it’s helping a young person and their family adjust, or enabling an older neighbour to stay active and connected, your gift makes a life-changing difference.

Our Legacy Promise

Serving Barrow and the surrounding district for over 100 years, we will continue to be here for as long as sight loss exists.

Your gift will support local people with sight loss.

Every legacy we receive strengthens our work in the community, helping us provide practical support, connection, and independence for those living with sight loss.

We will always respect your privacy.

Leaving a gift in your will is a personal decision. You are never under any pressure to tell us, and we will never ask for details you do not wish to share.

Your kindness, in any amount, matters.

We celebrate gifts of every kind and size. Each one makes a meaningful difference and reminds our members of the compassion and generosity within our community.

How to Leave a Gift in Your Will

 

Leaving a gift is simpler than you might think:

1. Decide on your gift – this could be a share of your estate, a fixed amount, or a specific item.

2. Speak to your solicitor – they’ll ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend.

3. Let us know (optional) – if you choose to tell us about your gift, we’d love the chance to thank you personally.

Together we can ensure no one faces sight loss alone. Please consider leaving a gift in your Will to Vision Support Barrow & District.
