We’re here to support people with a learning disability, their families, and their carers. We also campaign for a kinder, fairer and more inclusive society, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

At Mencap, everyone plays a part. Whether you’re directly supporting people, offering advice, or working alongside colleagues, we all work together to make a difference.
