Information and advice
Mencap Cymru's services team provide a wide range of support services to help people live the lives they want to live. Mencap Cymru provides information and advice to people with a learning disability, their families and carers, and professionals.
We can help interpret information, and can offer guidance on accessing services, healthcare, welfare and benefits, education, and other areas which are important to people with a learning disability.
Wales Learning Disability helpline
We operate the bilingual Wales Learning Disability helpline – 0808 808 1111. The helpline is free, and can offer advice and information in Welsh and English. It operates between 10am and 6pm every weekday, and 10am to 4pm on weekdays and bank holidays.
You can also email helpline.wales@mencap.org.uk
Employment and volunteering
Mencap Cymru's Work Preparation service provides a 12 week programme for people with a learning disability.
Carmarthenshire Family Adviser service
The family adviser service is an information service for parent carers, people with a learning disability, professionals and anyone else with an interest in learning disability.
Welfare benefits advice
Mencap Cymru has two specialist welfare benefits advisers who help make sure that people with a learning disability and their families have the help they are entitled to receive.
Regional events bring learning disability community together
A series of regional meetings across Wales in April brought together people with a learning disability, professionals, families and carers to discuss the Welsh government’s proposed Social Services Bill.
