Resources to help with structure and keeping busy

We know that these are difficult and unusual times.

To help with this, we've created some resources to help plan your days and weeks, as well as activity guides to help keep busy.

Mencap TV is here!

We've launched a new online video channel, made by people with a learning disability.

Mencap TV is full of fun and helpful videos, for the 1.5 people with a learning disability who are at home.

New videos are shown everyday and cover things like cooking, fitness, arts and crafts ideas and quizzes.

See our easy read guide to Mencap TV or check out the channel on YouTube.
