Help the UK Covid-19 Inquiry

It’s important that the impact of the pandemic on the lives of people with a learning disability , their families, and friends, is fully understood and recognised so we’re asking everyone to share their story with the independent UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

Mencap's manifesto

Mencap’s goal is to make the UK the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to lead happy and healthy lives. 

Our manifesto asks for the things that need to be put in place to fulfil that goal, and we hope that all the political parties heed our call.
