Shrewsbury Mencap is a small local charity based at Albert Rd, Shrewsbury

We support people with learning disability and their families by providing evening social activities and a day centre service on a Wednesday. To find out more about the work of our organisation please see the What We Offer section.

We are an independent charity that works with local families to establish our priorities but we are affiliated to National Mencap which gives us a link to the information, advice and support offered by such a national organisation. We are governed by local people and raise our own funds to deliver projects for people in and around Shrewsbury.

We operate on a completely voluntary basis with an operating committee of a dozen or so people and many other volunteers that run the evening activities. There are 4 Trustees that steward the ownership of the land at Albert Road.
