Mencap’s goals in our new strategy

Give excellent services to people with a learning disability and grow our work so we can do better work to support people with a learning disability and have more specialist services (specialism).

A community with people, housing, a tree and a church

We will work in different communities with our network groups so people with a learning disability are included and not feel lonely.
