Gifts in Wills
Request your gifts in Wills guide
A gift in your Will helps provide lifelong practical support, rehabilitation and emotional care for blind veterans, empowering them to live well with sight loss. It also helps ensure that future generations of blind veterans never have to face blindness alone.
At Blind Veterans UK, we have the experience and expertise to help veterans rebuild their lives and regain confidence, independence and fulfilment. But we can only do this thanks to gifts from people who share our belief that no veteran should have to overcome sight loss without support.
Gifts in Wills are vital to our work. They help us reach more blind veterans every year, create opportunities for the future, and continue our mission to help veterans achieve victory over sight loss.
Read on to discover just how important these special gifts are to blind veterans and the lasting difference they make.
