A bequest is a generous act of giving your personal property or financial assets to a person, organisation, or charity through your will. You can support children with autism spectrum disorder by leaving a gift in your will to Ashton's Place. By leaving a bequest in your will, you will be making a significant difference in the lives of future generations.

A bequest to Ashton's Place enables us to continue to provide funding for research into evidence-based early intervention; funding for the development of Autism Connect Early (ACE) Programme, an evidence-based early intervention programme based on gradual and meaningful inclusion; and support and funding for professionals that guide programme implementation and train staff.

However large or small, your gift will ensure that your values live on in a meaningful way and will help to transform the lives of children with autism.
