What we offer

At Leeds Mencap, we recognise the impact having a child with a learning disability can have on the whole family and offer a range of support for everyone.

We run a number of activity groups during school term times for children and young adults aged 8 to 25. This includes three youth groups for children and young adults with a learning disability, and a youth group for young people who have a sibling with a learning disability. During the school holidays we run weekly Playschemes – these are for children and young people with learning disabilities, with varying age ranges between 4 and 18. These groups and activities provide a range of opportunities for children and young people to try new skills in a safe and welcoming environment, meet understanding peers and have fun!

We also offer support for families through our Family Support Team who can provide you with information and guidance tailored to help with whatever your family's needs are.
