Leave a legacy
A gift in your Will can be the most powerful and effective way to support those affected by a visual impairment. Leaving a legacy to Action, however large or small, will help us to provide our full range of support services to blind and partially sighted people now and in the future.
Money donated in this way is not subject to tax. The current inheritance tax threshold is £325,000 - anything over that is liable to tax at 40%. A gift to Action could be a way of avoiding a big tax bill for your family.
You can contact us for confidential help and advice, or to request our free Will Guide by calling us on 020 7874 1340 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm) or by emailing us at supportercare@actionforblindpeople.org.uk (please state 'Will Guide request').
If you have already kindly left a gift to us in your will, please go to our pledger pages to find out about our current work, and read useful information and tips on eye health and other lifestyle advice.
