Leave a legacy

Every legacy gift, no matter what size, will help make a difference to the lives of people L’Arche supports.

Leaving a gift in your will to L’Arche will help to ensure that some of the most vulnerable people can experience a place of belonging and fulfilment. Whilst many organisations exist to offer support to people with learning disabilities, few do so with the L’Arche mission of an inclusive community and culture of shared lives between people with and without learning disabilities.

We do understand that your family and loved ones come first, and that your personal circumstances may change over time. If you are able to share a gift, however small, we would be so grateful to receive it. With support from our generous donors, we are able to make a profound and lasting difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities in L’Arche communities.

If leaving a legacy is something that you may be in a position to do, we can provide you with a legacy pack, which includes a step-by-step guide. Please contact Melanie Gait on 0161 438 2832 or email [email protected] to request your pack and receive advice on how best to support L’Arche in your legacy.

Life in Manchester

Often referred to as the ‘capital of the north,’ Manchester is a dynamic, culturally rich, and diverse city. It may rain more than most other UK cities, but we don’t let that dampen our spirits. It is a city renowned for its music, arts and culture. With a long campaigning history, it was the birthplace of the Suffragette Emily Pankhurst, and is known for its thriving LGBTQ+ community.
