A Gift in your Will
Visibility was founded in 1859 on the generosity of individuals and companies who gave gifts, large and small, to enable us to transform lives. The need for our services is growing rapidly, along with Scotland’s increasingly ageing population, so 150 years later we still depend on the goodwill, kindness and generosity of supporters to continue our work. A small gift can make a big difference.
Writing a will is the best way to make sure that your wishes are followed after your death. Once you have provided for your family and friends, you can help make a better life for blind and partially sighted people in the years to come by leaving Visibility a gift in your will. Legacies can take many forms, an amount of money, a specific item, or even the request that friends and family donate in place of sending flowers and wreaths to your funeral. Any gift, large or small, will be very much appreciated and help ensure that we will be able to continue transforming lives for another 150 years.
Recently we received a legacy from a visually impaired person in Dunbartonshire who had so enjoyed his time with our volunteer befriender, he wanted to make sure other visually impaired people could benefit from the same service. We were delighted to receive Mr L’s gift, but sorry that we could not thank him personally. If you do decide to leave a gift in your will to Visibility, do let us know so that we can thank you and make a note not to ask you again.
If you are thinking about leaving a gift in your will, have a chat with a solicitor who will make sure that you receive impartial advice and that your will reflects your wishes accurately and legally.

Visibility is a member of Remember a Charity, a consortium of charities who work together to raise awareness of the impact and importance of leaving a gift in your will. After taking care of family and friends, leaving a gift to charity is the best way to leave a lasting legacy to help others.
As part of their awareness raising campaign they produced a range of light hearted adverts which were shown on TV and cinema screens. Have a look………….
