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.
    WE NEED FUNDS:-

  • To cover the costs of learning opportunities
    and social clubs for adults and children, to
    allow us to expand them and offer
    membership to more people
  • To provide holidays, outings and visits for
    club members
  • To maintain and improve the fabric of the
    two buildings we occupy
  • To support our volunteers and ensure they
    receive the required training, to allow them
    to deal with the challenging role they
    undertake
  • To maintain the infrastructure of the Society
    and maintain the essential support services
    which any organization requires

    Your support is an essential contribution in
    providing the Lifelong Development that
    people with a learning disability need.

    Organisations - You can help in other ways
  • Donate surplus product or equipment we
    can either sell, raffle or use
  • Make us the beneficiaries of any staff
    fundraising days
  • Provide a team of volunteers to carry out
    some work on our buildings
  • Adopting us as Charity of the Year and visit
    us on a regular basis
  • We always strive to obtain media
    recognition for support we receive from
    donor organisations.
  • Individuals can donate surplus clothes,
    household goods we can sell in our shop
Please help us to maintain and improve
the range of services we provide for adults
and children with a learning disability in
Greater Nottingham.

New Year, New Wardrobe

Get rid of some of last seasons'
clothing and help raise funds for
Nottingham Mencap!

Our charity shop is in desperate need
of good quality, high street/designer
clothing.

All we are asking is that you have a
look at the back of your wardrobe and
donate one item of clothing that you
never wear.
It really will make a huge difference
to us.
