Registered Charity no 1046081

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.
Please help us to maintain and improve
the range of services we provide for adults and
children with a learning disability in Greater
Nottingham.
