How to write about Mencap

Mencap is the UK's leading learning disability charity. The following text has been produced for you to use to help you write accurately about Mencap and the work we do:

open quote

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 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.close quote

We can also provide longer, more detailed text about Mencap and what we do. If you would like a longer version of this text, please email: creative@mencap.org.uk

Our logo

The most obvious element of our brand is our logo. The Mencap logo is made up of two sections - the pink logotype, including the speech bubble, and the olive green strapline below. You should always use both parts of the logo and never separate them.

Mencap logo

The logo is available for download at 72 dpi, making it suitable for use on a website, but not for print. The logo should not be redrawn or edited in any way. Please also take care not to stretch or distort it.

If you require a logo for print purposes, please email: creative@mencap.org.uk

Our font

Mencap uses its own accessible font called FSMe in all its publications. It was developed with people with a learning disability, and is designed to be easy to read.

You can buy FSMe on the Fontsmith website or email creative@mencap.org.uk for more information.
