Saffron Walden Mencap Society
We provide a variety of clubs and regular events to bring choice and opportunities to adults and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism and their families. We offer people a community within our local area where they can make friends and get 'out and about' thus reducing social isolation. Everything we do is with the aim of giving our members a full and interesting socila life.
Saffron Walden Mencap is a small charity affiliated to Royal Mencap who, whilst supporting us with invaluable resources and advice, do not provide any financial support. Saffron Walden Mencap Society raises money through fundraising activities, grants, donations, and subscriptions.
