As a tribute for Mencap's 60th year in Northern Ireland staff from Dennison, and others recently decorated one of their rental trucks with handprints from the Mencap community . 

Keep your eyes out for the Dennison truck

The colourful, handprint-covered truck is going to raise awareness for the work we do for people with a learning disability , as it travels across the UK and Ireland this year.

Keep an eye out for the truck on the road, and if you want to make a donation there's a Dennison JustGiving page.

Statement by Katrina Dennison, Director at Dennison Commercials

“We are absolutely delighted to continue our journey with Mencap NI, especially as they celebrate an incredible 60 years of making a difference in Northern Ireland. Our Rentals truck will be on the road throughout the UK and Ireland this year, proudly raising awareness of the vital work Mencap does to support children, young people, and adults with a learning disability.

We’re so proud to play a small part in sharing Mencap’s story, and we hope this bright, joyful truck brings smiles wherever it goes.”

Thank you Dennison

Your support will help us continue our mission to make the UK the best place in the world for people living with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives. Each handprint represents a story and the truck shows the collective effort of everyone involved to create a more inclusive and supportive society.
