Sunshine Home, Sunshine House Schools and Sunshine Fund

Who do I pay if my client has left a gift to RNIB's Sunshine Home for Blind Babies, Sunshine House Schools or the Sunshine Fund?


RNIB opened its first Sunshine Home for Blind Babies in 1918, expanded its services to care for blind children in Sunshine House Schools and today runs Sunshine House School and Children's Home in Northwood, Middlesex; RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning in Coventry and RNIB College Loughborough, helping blind and partially sighted children and young people with significant learning difficulties and disabilities reach their potential in safe and supportive environments.

All payments from estates with an expressed wish to benefit RNIB Sunshine Home for Blind Babies, Sunshine House Schools or the Sunshine Fund can be made payable to RNIB. This gift will then be allocated towards our specialist educational facilities for blind and partially sighted children and young people with complex needs.
