Royal Mencap Society

About this provider

Ever since we were founded back in 1946 we have been helping to change society for the better, fighting for equality for people with a learning disability.

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

Our work includes:

• Providing high-quality, flexible services that allow people to live as independently as possible in a place they choose
• Providing advice through our helplines and websites
• Campaigning for the changes that people with a learning disability want

We have strong relations with a local network of more than 500 affiliated groups. Our local groups are individual charities in their own right, but we work closely with them to ensure people with a learning disability and their families have support locally as well as nationally.

Our values:
- We are Inclusive. People with a learning disability are at the heart of everything we do.
- We are Trustworthy. When we promise something, we don't let people down
- We are Caring. We treat everyone with respect and kindness.
- We are Challenging. When we see things that aren't fair we will campaign until we see real change.
- We are Positive. We never stop believing in a better future and we celebrate what we are proud of now.
