Barnet Mencap has been supporting and improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families and carers since 1965 and we rely on the generosity of our members and supporters to help fund our services.
You may feel whilst writing a Will that once you have looked after your nearest and dearest that there is not much left of value, but even a small gift can be a wonderful way to help continue and expand the work that Barnet Mencap do.
There are many ways to make a gift or “bequest” in a Will. Your professional adviser can help explain this in more detail.
