Helping young people reach their goals.
Campaigns
Mencap Cymru believes that change is possible for people with a learning disability in Wales. Mencap Cymru campaigns and lobbies so that people with a learning disability are listened to, valued equally and included.
We want to make sure that they are respected by their communities, get the healthcare and education that's right for them, and ensure that transport, public spaces, and important information are accessible.
We can assist people with a learning disability to influence change in their areas, and can help them take issues up with local politicians and councils.
If you are someone with a learning disability who wants support to campaign for something locally, please call the Wales Learning Disability Helpline on 0808 808 1111 or email helpline.wales@mencap.org.uk.
