Mencap – The voice of learning disability

We work in partnership with people with a learning disability, and all our services support people to live life as they choose. Our work includes providing high-quality, flexible services that allow people to live as independently as possible in a place they choose and campaigning for the changes that people with a learning disability want.

We have strong relations with a local network of more than 500 affiliated groups. Our local groups are individual charities in their own right, but we work closely with them to ensure people with a learning disability and their families have support locally as well as nationally.
