Barnet Mencap

Barnet Mencap provides a range of services for children and adults.

We campaign with people with a learning disability and autistic people and their families to secure high quality services and support in the borough.

Barnet Mencap is the leading charity for children and adults with a learning disability and their families in the London Borough of Barnet.

A learning disability can be described as, “a reduced intellectual ability and difficulty with everyday activities – for example household tasks, socialising or managing money – which affects someone for their whole life.”

People with a learning disability tend to take longer to learn and may need support to develop new skills, understand complicated information and interact with other people.
