Ways to get involved

I'm In campaign: the learning disability register

Mencap's I'm In campaign aims to spread awareness of the learning disability register .

The learning disability register is a list of people with a learning disability that most doctors surgeries have. It helps the doctor’s surgery know who may need extra health support.
