Vision of Hope 

A Vision of Hope tribute is a unique and special place to celebrate the life of someone you love. Creating your page – with your chosen words and photos - can be comforting at a sad time. A tribute page is a wonderful way of reflecting on the happy times you shared, and inviting family and friends to join in with their own precious memories too.

For most families, in memory giving begins at their loved one’s funeral.

Thank you so much for supporting families through a difficult time, and for collecting donations in memory on our behalf.  

Whether you’re taking on a personal challenge, or holding a tea party with family and friends, raising money in memory of a loved one can be an inspiring way to celebrate their life and help Beat Macular Disease for good. 

Most people expect to be upset or distressed when someone close to them has died. What takes many people by surprise is how strong the emotions can be, how they can change very quickly and how long they last. People around you may seem to think you should be ‘back to normal’ after a few weeks or months. You might appear to be your usual self to other people, but you know that on the inside, you’re not even sure what normal is anymore.

“It was back in 2016 or 2017. I was getting a pair of sunglasses, they asked me in and within five minutes they’d told me there was bleeding at the back of my left eye. Within the hour I was at Kidderminster hospital.

Donations made in loving memory help fund vital research projects that seek to develop treatments for macular disease or to make life easier for people living with the condition.

If you’re considering a gift in your Will to the Macular Society, thank you. Your gift will help beat macular disease for good.
