Have you got a Will?
We offer a FREE WILL WRITING SERVICE

Gifts in Wills are invaluable in supporting NESM, helping us provide essential services for sight-impaired children, young people, and their families. Many people who use this service choose to leave a gift to NESM but of course, there is absolutely no expectation or requirement to do so.

We know it’s easy to put off writing a Will, but having one in place is incredibly important. It ensures your wishes are respected and that the people and causes you care about are remembered in the way you choose.

We provide a FREE online will writing service in partnership with Octopus Legacy. This accessible platform allows you to easily create and manage your will from the comfort of your home.

If you are considering including a gift in your will, no matter the size, we respectfully encourage you to support the work of NESM. Your generosity can help sustain and advance our mission for years to come.

Write an online will in 15 minutes. Save time and money, so you can focus on what's important. All online wills are checked by experts.
