We're here to support people with a learning disability, their families and their carers. We fight for a kinder, fairer and more inclusive society. At Mencap, everyone works with people with a learning disability either providing support or advice, or alongside one another as colleagues.

Belonging at Mencap is for everyone, every day, everywhere.

Everyone is expected to treat people well and make Mencap an inclusive organisation. Everyday we grow and learn. It's okay to make mistakes but we learn from them and make changes. Everyone feels respected, valued, and safe to be themselves.

We have Belonging network groups that meet online and are open to all colleagues, including people who identify as Black and Asian, LGBTQIA+, disabled or with a long‑term health condition, women, parents and carers, and their allies.
