Donate in Memory of a Loved One
Giving in memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to pay tribute to their life.
Funeral Donations - Thinking about arranging your loved one's funeral can be a very upsetting time. To help in some way, we're able to offer funeral collection envelopes for the service, so that family and friends can make a donation on the day. You can make their wish and honor their legacy by supporting our work to make the UK the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy, healthy lives.
Legacies and Wills - By including a gift in your Will to the Elfrida Society you will be giving people with a learning disability someone to turn to. Someone who will fight their corner, and someone who will ensure they are seen and respected as individuals. If you include a gift in you Will, you can trust us to use your money carefully. We value these gifts as they are vital in reaching even more people with a learning disability and/or autism when they need help.
