Mencap - Suffolk

Who we are

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.
