About Hertsmere Mencap

Hertsmere Mencap is a charity, offering support to over 200 learning disabled people (members) and their families living in Hertsmere.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for our members and their families by reducing the risk of loneliness and isolation and providing our members with fulfilling activities that also increase their opportunities to socialise and make new friends.

We run a programme of daytime activities for (18+) Adults at a local hall in Borehamwood. Our activities are designed to focus on building confidence, independence and learning new skills. Our daily activities consist of arts &crafts, an evening social club, a drop in Coffee Morning, Drama and Dance Aerobics.

We run a Playscheme (Noah's Ark) for children (5-16) with a learning disability and their siblings. The playscheme runs during school holidays (Summer, Christmas, and Easter) and provides a fun and stimulating experience, including activities and outings.
