Inspire Me

The Inspire Me project will change the lives of 25,000 young people with a learning disability, their families and communities by supporting and inspiring them to be the best that they can be.

Involve Me

Involve Me is a three-year project about how to creatively involve people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) in decision making.

Raising Your Game

Raising Your Game has been developed in direct response to what young people told Mencap about their dreams and the problems they encounter achieving them.

Getting to know you

Getting to know you is a small project that aims to empower and encourage self advocates with learning disabilities to act as peer advocates for those with more profound disabilities. 

Positive activities

The me2 award

The me2 award is a kite-mark that recognises, promotes and celebrates inclusive services for disabled children and young people.

Changemakers is a Mencap project for young people with a learning disability aged 13 -25, funded by Social Action Fund.
