Bromley Mencap is a registered charity
working with and on behalf of people with a learning disability in the London
Borough of Bromley.
What is Bromley
Mencap?
The Society was formed in 1951 by a group of
parents with children who had learning disabilities. It now has over 600
members and serves around 1,200 people with learning disabilities in the
Borough.
Although the London Borough of Bromley (population approximately 300,000) is
typical of many outer Boroughs of big cities that are stereotyped as
‘prosperous’, there are still areas of real and serious need. In the case of
many individuals this need is heightened by the gap in opportunities and
lifestyle between them and other local inhabitants.
Bromley Mencap’s continuous action on behalf of people in the Borough with a learning
disability, and on behalf of their parents and carers, is based on the
principle that their clients have a need and right to live like others in the
community, and to have a reasonable quality of life.
To fulfil these aims, we employ a Chief Executive and a team of full and part
time staff which is supported by a loyal group of volunteers.
Bromley Mencap is affiliated to the Royal Mencap Society.
