Mencap aims to be the voice of learning disability. They 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.
Activities include:
- Support for people with a learning disability to get a job or take a college course, or help in finding a place of their own to live in.
- Advice about things like respite care, individual budgets or transport services.
- Residential/day care services and leisure groups that are important to people with a learning disability, and their families and supporters.
- Support for people with a learning disability to be part of their local communities.
- Lobbying the government to change laws so that more and more people with a learning disability can have control over their own lives.
