Be part of Beacon’s history

Preserving the past, empowering the future

This year, we’re marking an extraordinary milestone — 150 years of supporting people living with sight loss. That’s a century and a half of impact, made possible by the kindness and support of people like you.

Whether you’ve donated, volunteered, or simply shared our story — thank you. Your generosity has helped shape the lives of thousands, and we couldn’t have come this far without you.

To celebrate this momentous year, we’re creating a special Time Capsule to be opened in 2100 — and you’re invited to be part of it.

Leave a message of hope, a cherished memory, or your vision for the future — your words will be sealed as part of Beacon’s legacy and discovered by future generations.

How to get involved:

Make a donation using the link below
Share your message on our Visufund page
Your message will be printed and placed in the Time Capsule

Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue supporting people living with sight loss — not just today, but for the future.

We’d love for you to join us in person as we seal this historic capsule.

Enjoy light refreshments (available for purchase), hear a few words from our Chief Executive Lisa Cowley, and be there for the moment we officially bury the capsule.

Let’s celebrate 150 years — and send a message to the future, together.

What Your Donation Could Do:

£10 could fund a sight loss advice session for someone newly diagnosed
