Mencap is the UK’s leading charity for people with a learning disability and their families. For nearly 80 years, we’ve been providing support, creating opportunities, and challenging prejudice, helping people with a learning disability to live fulfilling lives, be heard, and feel included.
Today, around 1.5 million people in the UK have a learning disability. Many still face discrimination, social exclusion, and barriers to living the life they choose. Mencap provides essential support, from supported living and personal care to employment training, social groups, and expert advice for families.
We’re also a powerful voice for change. Our campaigns influence government policy, shift public attitudes, and empower people with lived experience to speak up for themselves.
Payroll giving is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support our work. A regular gift from your salary helps us plan ahead and respond quickly to urgent issues, so we can be here for everyone with a learning disability when they need us most. It’s tax-efficient, secure, and makes a real difference – every month. Your monthly gift could help:
· £3 a month could help us keep answering calls on our helpline, offering vital information and advice to those who need it most.
· £10 a month could help us campaign locally and nationally, supporting people with a learning disability to stand up for what they want and need.
· £20 a month could help us run inclusive community activities like social groups and peer support sessions, helping people connect, grow in confidence, and feel less alone.
By giving through your payroll, you’re standing with us in our mission to create a fairer, more inclusive society where people with a learning disability can thrive.
Join us. Together, we can make a fairer society for all.
