More about the need for funding

Nottingham Mencap is an independent local charity, (Charity Commission registration number 1046081) and relies
entirely on the efforts of staff and volunteers to obtain income and provide services.

We do receive some funding from local statutory authorities, as well as the Big Lottery Fund, European Social Fund and
Learning & Skills Council. A number of trusts and local companies have also pledged their support for Nottingham
Mencap projects.

Providing quality services and support costs a great deal of money. Available income allows some progress with these
activities but some areas would welcome more financial support.

We would like to maintain and increase the range of services we provide to children and adults with a learning
disability, their families and carers in Greater Nottingham. This will only be possible with the support of statutory
funding to maintain the long term stability of our Charity and its activities. We maintain rigorous budgetary control and
our ability to deliver best value is recognised by the funders who have increased their investments in our services.

We are conscious that we have achieved much in recent years, especially in the area of Learning and Development.
However, we recognise that there is still much to be done before people with a learning disability in Greater
Nottingham receive the services they deserve. We shall continue to campaign, to lobby, to apply for funding and
welcome any help in maintaining this effort.
