This year we answered 10,671 calls, which we couldn’t have done without the generosity of our amazing supporters.
There are 1.4 million people with a learning disability in the UK, and many of them need our advice right now. We want to answer calls from more people who urgently need our support –and you can make that possible.
By donating today, you can make sure that there’s always someone to answer the phone.
Many people with a learning disability, and their families, find themselves not knowing where to turn for advice. But a call to the Learning Disability Helpline can make a world of difference.
The helpline was crucial for 22-year-old Joe. When the support he had been receiving from the council came under review, a lack of decisive action had devastating consequences: Joe found it increasingly difficult to get by and became homeless; sleeping on a beach.
The team at Mencap helped Joe secure accommodation, and worked with the council to ensure he got the support he urgently needed.
Help us answer more calls from people like Joe who desperately need our support.
