Welcome to Herefordshire Mencap
Have a look around our website. You will find information on our campaigns, forthcoming events and links to other useful organisations.
We get involved with what is important to people with learning disabilities and their family carers across Herefordshire.
We are directed by a group of local people with a learning disability who are also our Trustees.
We employ a person with a learning disability who is our link between us and West Midlands Self Advocacy Network, www.wmsan.co.uk/.
We are affiliated to Royal Society Mencap and work very closely with them, however we have to find our own funding to pay for the work we do.

We asked people what they thought about using buses around Herefordshire. Here is what they told us: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi7S6tK_vQo&t=64s
We have sent the film to the bus companies. We will let you know what they say.
