There are 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK.

Mencap is the voice of learning disability. We work in partnership with people with a learning disability, and all our services support people to live life as they choose. 

People with learning difficulties, like all of us, are individuals who want different things in life and need different levels of support. Mencap aims to create a world where people with a learning disability are valued, equally, listened to and included. Every person should have the opportunity to achieve the things they want from life.
