Welcome to the Mencap Trust Company Ltd website.

It’s natural to worry what will happen to your loved ones when you are no longer around — even more so when your loved one has a learning disability and/or autism .

Mencap Trust Company can help alleviate some of this worry by helping you plan a financially secure future for those you leave behind.

Protect their future

If you’ve been thinking about setting up a trust for a family member who has a learning disability (and/or autism), and you want to:

  • safeguard their benefits and entitlements
  • ensure legal or financial responsibility for your family member is not placed on family or friends
  • make allowances for unforeseen family circumstances that could prevent other family members taking on the trust — like poor health or premature death
  • appoint a trustee who is well informed about learning disability rights and the needs of people with a learning disability
  • choose a permanent, professional body who is experienced in trust law
