At Croydon Mencap, we support people with learning disabilities and their families. We want everyone to feel included, safe, and confident about their future.

This plan is what some people call a ‘strategy’. A strategy is like a map – showing where we want to go and how we’ll get there.

People with learning disabilities helped us shape this as well as other groups and people in the borough, like the Learning Disability Alliance, Willow Learning for Life, carers, councillors, and SEND teachers.

Our vision is that Croydon is a place where people with learning disabilities have the power, voice, and support to make their own choices, and live life their way.

 

Over the next few years, we will focus on 6 important things:

1. Understand and show what is working so we can do more of it

2. Bring in more money that we can use freely across our charity

3. Keep safe the things we love

4. Be clear about who needs us most and make sure they get our support

5. Show people who we are and promote the full range of support available across Croydon

6. People with learning disabilities build their confidence, use their strengths, and lead the way

 

Now that our plan is ready, we’re excited to get started. We’ll share our goals and work hard to make them happen - step by step, together.
