Gifts in Wills
Leave a Gift in Your Will to The Partially Sighted Society
Help Build a Future Where Sight Loss Never Means Loss of Opportunity
After providing for the people you love, many supporters choose to leave a gift in their Will to a cause that reflects their values.
By remembering The Partially Sighted Society (PSS) in your Will, you can help ensure that people living with sight loss continue to receive specialist support, accessible resources, and independence-building services — for generations to come.
Write Your Will For Free
We have partnered with Farewill to offer supporters the opportunity to write a standard Will free of charge online or by telephone. There is no obligation to leave a gift to PSS in order to use this service — but many supporters find it a helpful way to put their affairs in order while considering the causes they care about.
Why Consider Leaving a Gift to us?
Every day, people are diagnosed with sight loss. For many, it can feel overwhelming — filled with uncertainty, questions and concern about the future.
Your legacy gift could help:
- Provide large print books and accessible reading materials
- Support children and young people with visual impairments in education
- Fund adaptive equipment that restores independence
- Offer practical guidance following diagnosis
- Reduce isolation through community support
Gifts in Wills are vital to sustaining our work long term. They allow us to plan ahead, innovate, and continue delivering specialist services where they are needed most.
A Gift That Reflects Your Values
People leave gifts to The Partially Sighted Society for many reasons.
Some have experienced sight loss personally.
Some have supported a loved one through diagnosis.
Others believe deeply in equality, dignity and access to opportunity.
Types of Gifts You Can Leave
There are several ways to include The Partially Sighted Society in your Will:
- Residuary Gift – A percentage of your estate after other gifts and expenses have been paid. This type of gift keeps pace with inflation and is often the most effective way to give.
- Pecuniary Gift – A fixed sum of money.
- Specific Gift – An item of value, such as property, shares or personal possessions.
We always recommend speaking to a qualified solicitor when writing or updating your Will to ensure your wishes are clear and legally valid.
Your Loved Ones Come First
We understand completely that your family and friends will always be your priority.
After you have provided for them, choosing to remember The Partially Sighted Society is a meaningful way to extend your care to others living with sight loss.
Your legacy could help someone read again.
Your legacy could help a child access education confidently.
Your legacy could help someone rebuild independence after diagnosis.
And that impact may last for decades.
Letting Us Know
There is absolutely no obligation to tell us if you choose to leave a gift in your Will.
However, if you feel comfortable sharing your intentions, it helps us plan responsibly for the future and gives us the opportunity to thank you personally.
All conversations are handled in strict confidence and with sensitivity.
