Welcome to Bedford & District Mencap
Supporting people with learning disabilities, their families, and carers in Bedford and beyond.
At Bedford & District Mencap, we are passionate about empowering individuals with learning disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. We believe everyone should have the chance to be active, valued members of their community and enjoy the same opportunities as everyone else.
As a local, voluntary organisation, we proudly serve Bedford and the surrounding areas, working tirelessly to provide support, advocacy, and meaningful services for individuals with learning disabilities and their families.
We are a proud, independent registered charity (No. 218689), and we couldn’t achieve what we do without the support of our amazing volunteers, donors, and community.
