East Kent Mencap
"Providing opportunities for adults & children with a learning disability in East Kent"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
East Kent Mencap is a charity that supports adults and children with a learning disability to become more independent.
We are a local group affiliated to Mencap and adhere to their quality standards and policies but we are independently run and funded. We aim to maximise independence and minimise dependence through education, choice, community involvement and participation.
The area we cover reaches across the region of East Kent, including Thanet, Canterbury and Swale.
East Kent Mencap offers a variety of opportunities for people with a learning disability. All of our services are person-centred, supporting people to develop their lives in whatever ways they choose.
