Always fancied doing a sky dive, trekking across the Himalayas or cycling to Paris? With our support you could achieve your dreams and help Centre 404 to achieve ours.

Leaving a legacy
Did you know that you could make provision in your will for Centre 404's continued work?
The idea of naming Centre 404 as beneficiary in wills came as a response to families' fears and anxieties about the future of their sons and daughters once they cease to be able to care for them. Centre 404 will hopefully continue to provide some of the essential services which make a difference to those staying on.
Remember us in your will. On our part, every year on the day of our AGM we invite all those present to remember relatives, members with learning disabilities, staff, friends and donors who have passed away.
