A gift in your Will is the perfect way support a cause close to your heart.

Did you know local government only pays for around half of our services? The rest is from donations and gifts in Wills.

Did you know you can leave Seescape, in your Will any affordable % of your worth or an affordable sum of money?

Help us support future generations in Fife experiencing sight loss, your gift in your Will, regardless of size, will make this happen.

What gifts can you leave in your Will?

  • Any sum of money you can afford. Each gift is important and can be life changing. But cash gifts do not keep up with inflation.
  • Any % of what you are worth from 1% to 100%.
  • Any personal item.

It is so easy.

To leave us a gift in your Will the only information your solicitor, or person drafting your Will, needs is:

  • Seescape (Fife Society for the Blind)
  • Charity number: SC001354
  • Address: Unit H, Newark Road North, Glenrothes, KY7 4NT

Your adviser can agree the words and type of gift which suits your circumstances. It could not be easier!

If you already have a Will and would like to change it, you can use a codicil but nowadays it is just as easy for your solicitor to adapt an existing one or add a Letter of Wishes which includes wishes such as whether you want flowers at your funeral or donations to a charity such as Seescape.

Our promises for gifts in Wills

We fully recognise this is a private gift and that your circumstances might change in the future.

To reassure you that we value highly the private method of this way of supporting out work we have developed the following promises:

  • We will not put pressure on you to give a gift in your Will – it is your decision.
  • We will never ask you the size or type of gift if you decide to support our work this way.
  • We absolutely recognise your loved ones come first in your Will.
  • You never have to tell us your intentions – we respect your right to privacy.
  • We fully understand that personal circumstances change and there might be a time when you must take Seescape out of your Will.
  • We promise to use your gift wisely.
  • If you want your gift used in a special way, we will honour your wish.

If you want to tell us about your gift it enables us to say thank you which we like to do!

It is so easy to do.

All you have to do is contact your Will writer and it can happen in minutes! If you do not have a solicitor, Seescape are members of  Remember A Charity – leave a gift in your Will to charity  who list solicitors local to you who regularly draft Wills. Seescape is not allowed to give legal advice or to recommend a particular solicitor but if you want to discuss your gift you are very welcome to contact Ailsa Alcock.

The importance of legacies

  • Our services are free of charge but not free of cost
  • It costs £2,300 per day (or £67,000 a month) to run Seescape and support the sight loss community living in Fife.
  • It costs over £11,000 a year to run all our community groups
  • It costs over £7,000 to provide minibus transport for our community groups

Gifts in Wills have helped us to develop new services which are a lifeline to thousands of people and their families.

We’d be delighted to hear from you!
