Mencap is the voice of learning disability. Everything we do is about valuing and supporting people with a learning disability, and their families and carers.

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
    * providing advice through our helplines and websites
    * campaigning for the changes that people with a learning disability want.

We are an individual membership organisation and our work is shaped by what our members tell us about their needs and wishes.

We also 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.
