• South Wilts Mencap

  South Wilts Mencap is an independent local charity, started by local parents some 50 years ago and affiliated to the Royal Mencap Society. We get our funds from our charity shop in Catherine Street, through grants and by other fund raising. We are entirely voluntary with some paid staff support.

  We provide some services ourselves and work in partnership with other organisations, both statutory and voluntary, to provide others. We see our major role as lobbying and campaigning for changes in attitudes and service provision to enable people with learning disabilities to make the most of life.
