Hf Mencap

HF Mencap is an independent local charity supporting young people and adults with learning disabilities and their carers and families. Hammersmith and Fulham Mencap started in 1964 by a group of parents and carers who got together to fight for the rights of their adult children with learning disabilities to have access to day service provision. The parents/carers offered each other support and met informally in their own homes. The organisation re-launched in and over the years we have grown into a multi-project service provider to support people with learning disabilities and their families. We hope that those parents and carers would be proud of our local presence and reputation for continuing to campaign locally for the rights of children and adults with learning disabilities. HF Mencap became a limited company in 2013 and we are affiliated to Royal Mencap. HF Mencap aims to empower children and adults with learning disabilities and autism to get their voice heard, reach their potential and be included in their local community.
