In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to SightSavers, a charity Mum donated to every year who work in 30 countries including India to treat and prevent avoidable blindness.

The impact of visual impairment can be devastating. It can stop children going to school. It can prevent people finding a job. It can force people into a spiral of poverty. And the knock-on effects can harm families and entire communities.

Sightsavers believe nobody should be blind from avoidable causes, and want everybody to be able to get eye treatment when they need it. A pair of glasses or an operation to remove cataracts can transform people’s lives.
