About Leeds Mencap

By getting involved and fundraising for local charity, Leeds Mencap, you’ll be playing an invaluable role in supporting families and children with learning disabilities across Leeds. There are enormous challenges for people with learning disabilities and their families and we are there to help every step of the way.

We run three youth and social clubs (ages 7 up to 25) along with school holiday playschemes to reduce isolation felt by young people who can’t access many groups safely and with the right support.

We help parents by giving them the knowledge, skills and support networks they need to be able to care for their whole family.

Our siblings support group (for ages 7 to 14) is for children who have a brother or sister with a learning disability – so they can have time to themselves, have fun and meet friends who understand their situation.

We also have a specialist playroom for children aged 0-3 with learning disabilities like Down’s syndrome and global development delay – providing expert support to both the child and parents at this crucial early stage.
