About Us
Who We Are
We are a local self-funded charity dedicated to improving the lives of adults and children with learning disabilities and autism. Through our friendly, inclusive clubs and activities we help our members build confidence, make friends, and enjoy life to the fullest. Our groups also provide valuable respite for parents and carers.
I have three children that are part of Keynsham Mencap. I have always found the staff and volunteers friendly, good company for my youngsters, full of good ideas and lots of energy!
