Leave a gift in your Will
You can make a lasting difference to people with low vision by leaving a gift in your Will. As our population ages, the number of people with low vision will increase so there will be even more demand for cutting edge research and high-quality support services.
A gift in your Will:
- will support the continued improvement in services for people with low vision;
- will help raise public awareness of the devastating effects vision loss can have on everyday lives;
- will ensure that the best of new ideas from throughout the world are brought to New Zealand;
- will support vital research into the causes, effects and treatments of vision loss.
For more information talk to your lawyer. Making or changing a Will is normally free.
