Bromley Mencap

Description:

Bromley Mencap is a registered charity working with and on behalf of people with a learning disability in the London Borough of Bromley.

What is Bromley Mencap?

The Society was formed in 1951 by a group of parents with children who had learning disabilities. It now has over 600 members and serves around 1,200 people with learning disabilities in the Borough.

Although the London Borough of Bromley (population approximately 300,000) is typical of many outer Boroughs of big cities that are stereotyped as ‘prosperous’, there are still areas of real and serious need. In the case of many individuals this need is heightened by the gap in opportunities and lifestyle between them and other local inhabitants.

Bromley Mencap’s continuous action on behalf of people in the Borough with a learning disability, and on behalf of their parents and carers, is based on the principle that their clients have a need and right to live like others in the community, and to have a reasonable quality of life.

To fulfil these aims, we employ a Chief Executive and a team of full and part time staff which is supported by a loyal group of volunteers.

Bromley Mencap is affiliated to the Royal Mencap Society.
