Remember a loved one
Celebrate the life of your loved one by supporting RNIB in their memory and make the world a better place for blind and partially sighted people. However you choose to honour the memory of a loved one, your support will be life changing for many people living with sight loss. Last year, the generosity of our donors meant that we could deliver emotional and practical support to over 60,000 people with a newly diagnosed sight loss condition.

Remember someone you miss this Christmas
Christmas time is when we often think about loved ones who are no longer with us, but you can pay tribute to their memory this season, by adding a dedication in their name on our Christmas Dedication Page. You can add a message alongside a photo to remember them (donations are optional).

Ways to remember your loved one
Set up or donate to a Tribute Fund
Setting up an online Tribute Fund to celebrate the life of a loved one is a wonderful way to share memories of their life with family and friends. You can add photos, videos, light virtual candles and accept donations for RNIB in their memory too. To set up a tribute in their memory please follow the link below

Make a dedication on our dedication page (memory wall)
If you prefer to make an individual dedication in memory of a loved one, you can do this on our dedication page. You can also add a photo and use this space to mark special occasions and anniversaries too.
