Mencap

We work with people with a learning disability to change laws and services, challenge prejudice and directly support thousands of people to live their lives as they choose.

123 Golden Lane London

We do so many different things. For example:

• We support people with a learning disability to get a job or take a college course, or we can help them find a place of their own to live in.
• We offer advice about things like respite care, individual budgets or transport services.
• We run residential/day care services and leisure groups that are so important to so many people with a learning disability, and their families and supporters.
• We support people with a learning disability to be part of their local communities.
• We lobby the government to change laws so that more and more people with a learning disability can have control over their own lives.
