What Mencap wants – our vision

Our vision is a world where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened and included. We want everyone
to have the opportunity to achieve the things they want out of life.

How Mencap will achieve this – our mission

We will listen to people with a learning disability. Fight for the changes that people with a learning disability, and their
families and supporters, want and need. Support all people living with a learning disability in all parts of their lives.
Give excellent information and advice. Work with people and groups that want the same things we do.

Mencap believes in – our values

Being people centred. Empowering, including and respecting all people. Challenging wrong ways of thinking about
learning disability. Transforming lives. Being brave and developing new ideas.

The Trustees of Mid Norfolk Mencap, incorporating South Norfolk, endorse Royal Mencap statements and will
endeavour to work towards their ideal in our area.
