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.

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 fund world-class research to find a cure for macular disease. In the past 30 years, we’ve funded over £6 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 from people like you. In fact, more than one in three of our research projects is funded by gifts in Wills.
