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

organization requires
