Our history and relationship with Mencap
We were set up in 1976 for families looking for an organisation that combines sound financial expertise with a passion for supporting people with a learning disability. We’ve been supporting families to plan for their loved one’s future ever since.
Mencap Trust Company is a not-for-profit subsidiary of Mencap. While we’re independent from Mencap, we are proud of our shared heritage and values. Our close connection with the charity means not only do we understand learning disability, we also know where to turn for any extra support that might be needed for the families we work with.
Being independent means that we make all of our decisions based on what’s in the best interest of the people that have a trust with us. We are not a fundraising arm of the charity.
