Our organization seeks to promote the wellbeing and development of individuals with learning disabilities and autism, as well as support their families and carers. We provide a range of services, including parent/carer advocacy, youth development projects, day opportunities, short breaks, and various projects and campaigns. Through our efforts, we aim to support individuals with learning disabilities and autism in living as independently as possible, advocating for their rights, and providing opportunities for continued learning and development.

At HF Mencap, we are committed to providing support that ensures children and adults with learning disabilities and autism are accepted and included in the community, have their voices and needs heard by decision makers, and are supported to live as independently as possible. Our organization also focuses on empowering individuals to campaign for their rights, pursue their dreams, and live fulfilling lives. Through our various programs and initiatives, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support, enabling them to make friends, form relationships, pursue employment, and live in their own homes. We are grateful for the support of our funders, as their contributions make our work possible and enable us to continue making a positive impact in the lives of individuals with learning disabilities and autism.

Thanks for your interest in joining our club! I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Art Club, Weekly, during school term on Wednesday 4pm-5pm&nbsp;: Art serves as a powerful outlet for feelings and experiences, allowing young people to visually articulate their emotions and thoughts. Creating art can be therapeutic and meditative, reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation, which contributes positively to mental well-being. Exhibiting their work enhances self-esteem and encourages a sense of achievement.&nbsp;Dance Club, Weekly ,during school term on Wednesday 5pm-6pm :Led by a volunteer , this club allows attendees to co-produce the dance sessions, fostering creativity and collaboration. Dance not only promotes physical activity—known to release endorphins that improve mood—but also provides a safe space for self-expression through movement. Participants can channel their emotions via dance, which serves as an effective coping mechanism for managing stress and anxiety. The sense of community developed through shared dance experiences can also foster strong support networks.&nbsp;

Got your message! I'll get back to you ASAP .Many thanks.
