Your legacy can create a brighter future
Your gift could make a real difference to people living with deafblindness; it could help us to run more social groups to give people who are deafblind more opportunities to connect with others; it could give someone a weekly visit from a befriender or it could keep our helpline open so we can be there for someone who needs sympathy and support.
Jean's story
“It has totally changed my life... I’ve got someone else to talk to and someone else to think about”
Deafblindness affects more and more people each year. By 2029 it is estimated that nearly 539,000 people in the UK will be deafblind. Your legacy, no matter how big or small, will allow us to continue to support people with deafblindness in years to come.
How you can change lives
A gift of £400 could provide a full course of specialist counselling for someone trying to come to terms with their sight and hearing loss.
A gift of £3,000 could allow 150 people to receive the Braille version of Open Hand for a year – a magazine written and designed especially for people who are deafblind.
A residuary gift of 2% could fund life-changing assistive technology and technical support, allowing people with dual sensory loss to reconnect with their family and the world around them.
A residuary gift of 5% could cover the cost of a trained helpline operator for a year – providing a vital lifeline for our members when they need it most, or simply a listening ear when they are feeling lonely.
