Our aim is to build homes, independence and aspirations and according to our trophy cabinet we’re pretty good at it! We're the 17th best place to work in the UK, the 4th best in the North East and the 8th best for women. Our apprenticeship programme is award winning; in 2019 we were named large employer of the year and large north east employer of the year in 2020.

Together we can create a world in which people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included. Where the 1.4 million people who have a learning disability can feel proud of who they are and accepted by society. We want you, your friends and your family to join with us to campaign, raise money and volunteer alongside people with a learning disability - we can't think of a more rewarding way to spend your time... Why volunteer with us? You will change a life but we promise it will change yours as well. We work with volunteers who are as passionate about supporting people with a learning disability as we are and we would love it if you join us. In return we offer the chance to develop new skills and experience, as well as make new friends. https://www.mencap.org.uk/get-involved/volunteering http://twitter.com/mencap_charity #Mencapvolunteering
