Manx Mencap

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 do so many different things. For example:

  • We support people with a learning disability to get a job or take a college course, or we can help them find a place of their own to live in.
  • We offer advice about things like respite care, individual budgets or transport services.
  • We run residential/day care services and leisure groups that are so important to so many people with a learning disability, and their families and supporters.
  • We support people with a learning disability to be part of their local communities.
  • We lobby the government to change laws so that more and more people with a learning disability can have control over their own lives.
