Leave a legacy
Our loved ones are the first people to think of when drawing up a Will, the lasting expression of love for your family and friends. It is also a way of continuing your support to charitable organisations which you would like to see able to carry on the important work of a cause you believe in. Your gift of a legacy will allow us to continue helping persons with disabilities towards becoming independent and taking their place as active members of society, without discrimination.

The Association cannot provide legal or financial advice. We urge you to consult with your legal representative or financial adviser to determine the appropriate way to give and the best language to use when making a bequest.
