Mencap Brand

At Mencap we help people become local activists by giving them training and resources.

This helps local activists feel confident so they can manage their own campaigns well.

If you use our activism training and resources to change peoples minds, you should not use word 'Mencap' or the Mencap logo.

Our logo is the Mencap symbol.

We want to hear what you think about our activist resources so we can learn how they helped you and how they can be improved.

To tell us what you think contact your local activism coach. 

The resources may change if we get ideas from local activists who use them.
