Why leave RNIB a legacy?
Summary: The vital difference your Legacy could make to someone who is struggling to cope with losing their sight.
RNIB's vision
RNIB believes in a world where blind and partially sighted people enjoy the same rights, responsibilities, opportunities and quality of life as people who are sighted.
Every day another 100 people will start to lose their sight. By remembering RNIB in your will you can ensure that we are there to offer the services and support they need to lead full and rewarding lives.
Legacies are vital
Nearly 30 per cent of RNIB's income comes from Legacies. That means £1 in every £3 we spend on providing support is as a result of previous generations leaving Legacies. You don't have to be wealthy to make a difference. Legacies of all sizes play an invaluable role in our work.
Just think of the vital difference your gift could make to someone who is struggling to cope with losing their sight.
“When it came to making my Will there was no question: it had to be RNIB. I knew how awful it would be to lose my sight and RNIB’s work is so important for people with sight loss.”
Bob Vant, a supporter who has remembered RNIB in his Will.

Now, as a presenter on Insight Radio, she uses her experiences to help others. “My prayer is that what we do helps those who are going through sight loss. Even the tiniest piece of information can make a huge difference. If my show can help do that, then my journey has not been in vain.” Jill's full story
