Business profile: Sutton Mencap, dedicated to improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and their carers in the London Borough of Sutton, prides itself on being an independent charity affiliated with the Royal Mencap Society. Our mission is rooted in providing a supportive, inclusive environment that fosters individual growth and community integration.

Catering to children and young people aged 6 and over, we offer an array of high-quality play and leisure opportunities. Our services, which include after-school, holiday, and Saturday clubs, are designed to cater to a broad age range, adapting to the unique needs of each child. These activities not only ensure a fun and engaging experience for the children but also provide a respite for parents and carers, knowing their loved ones are in a safe, nurturing environment.

For adults, Sutton Mencap offers diverse group-based services, including Community day activities that run five days a week. These encompass a variety of activities such as visits to leisure centres, parks, cinemas, and participation in art and dance classes. Our ‘Breakaways’ programme specifically addresses the needs of adults living with family members, offering them engaging activities while giving their carers a well-deserved break. Additionally, our leisure services aim to help adults with learning disabilities to socialize, develop skills, and enjoy a range of group activities.

Our base in Wallington is equipped with comfortable lounges, craft and activity areas, a sensory room, and a secure outdoor play area, ensuring a welcoming and accessible space for everyone. We believe in the power of community involvement and regularly engage in local events, aiming to make Sutton a place that fully includes people with learning disabilities in all aspects of community life.

Through our strategic plan, we remain focused on delivering high-quality services that meet the evolving needs of our community. This includes a commitment to continuous service development, community engagement, and ensuring we have the necessary resources and facilities to achieve our goals. At Sutton Mencap, we strive to create a world where individuals with learning disabilities are valued equally, listened to, and included.
