About
Capability Scotland
Capability Scotland delivers exemplary care, support, and education for
disabled children and adults across Scotland.
We are a charity, founded in 1946 by a group of health professionals and parents determined for better opportunities for their children with cerebral palsy. We have always strived to be a major ally in supporting disabled people to have full 
equality of opportunity and participation as citizens of Scotland. We’re huge advocates 
of creating independence for disabled people and putting our customers at the heart 
of our work.

The Lyons Bowe Charity Will Scheme
Leave a Legacy of Care
Through the Lyons Bowe Charity Will Scheme, we also help clients create a legacy by offering you 50% off our standard Will-writing fees when you include a charitable gift whilst planning for your future.
It is part of our commitment to supporting causes that matter, and using legal services to make a real difference.
From online appointments, fixed-fee pricing to secure digital storage and registration with the National Will Register, everything we do is built around your peace of mind.
Over £6.6 Million Pledged in 2025
Together with our clients, we have helped pledge over £6,6 million to charities through our legacy partners in 2025. Every pledge, no matter the size, is a step towards real change. Join thousands of others making a lasting difference through their Will.
