Give in memory

Get involved

If your loved one had macular disease, you’ll know what a devastating condition it can be. Giving in their memory can be a comforting way to celebrate their life and the happiness you shared. Every donation you make will help their memory live on, whilst funding world-class research to help beat macular disease. It will also fund the advice and support they so valued.  

Organise an in memory collection

Give in memory

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

Information for funeral directors

Give in memory

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

Fundraise in memory

Give in memory

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. 

Bereavement support

Give in memory

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.

Kenneth's story

Give in memory

“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.

The research you fund

Give in memory

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.

Leave a gift in your Will

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

Why include us in your Will

Leave a gift in your Will

There are many reasons why you might be considering a gift in your Will to the Macular Society.

In conversation with Professor Ian Pearce

Why include us in your Will

Tell us about your career as a retinal specialist:

“I’ve been a consultant ophthalmologist for 22 years, and I’m the Director of the Clinical Eye Research Centre in Liverpool. I trained in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds as an ophthalmologist, but I made it clear that I wanted not only to bring the clinical element to my profession, but the research side too. So I’ve always been actively involved in research, which is also at the heart of our profession.

The difference you’ll make

Why include us in your Will

A gift in your Will would contribute to funding world-class research to find a cure for macular disease. In the past 30 years, we’ve funded over £5 million of research: from researchers at the top of their game to postgraduates – the leading scientists of the future. We couldn’t have done that without gifts in Wills - generously given by people like you. In fact, one in three of our research projects is funded by gifts in Wills.
