Personal support services

At Mencap we support people with a learning disability to be as independent as they can and to live the life they want.

Tell us what support you need and we will give you the support.

We can support you for a few hours a week, a few hours every day, or all day, every day. 

We can support you so your carers can have a break.

We can support you:

• at home with your parents
• in your own house or flat
• in a house or flat you share with other people.

Here are some examples of the things we can support you with:

• being part of your local community
• meeting new people
• doing activities
• cleaning your kitchen
• having a shower
• shopping
• looking after your money
• being safe and healthy
• taking medication.

We can support people who need extra help, or who need help from people who have had special training. For example, we can support people who have:

• profound and multiple learning disabilities
• autism
• challenging behaviour.

We can support people who might break the law .

You can talk to parents and carers of people with a learning disability in our online community.
