Mencap - What we do

Mencap is the UK’s leading charity working with people with a learning disability, and their families and carers.

People with a learning disability are among the most excluded in today’s society. Most are treated as ‘different’ and don’t have the same control over their lives as other people. Our vision is a world where they are valued equally, listened to and included.

We want everyone to have the opportunity to achieve the things they want from life. That’s why we work to change laws and services, challenge prejudice and directly support thousands of people to live their lives as they choose.

We also support people to speak up about issues that matter to them and secure their rights and entitlements – things many of us take for granted.
