Welcome to Harpenden Mencap

Harpenden Mencap has been providing services to people with a learning disability since 1959.  It is a local independent charity that is affiliated to Royal Mencap; however, we are a self-funding organisation.

The organisation provides services to people with a learning disability within the Harpenden and local district.

We have three residential homes providing long-term care to 13 people, and we provide support to 14 people living more independently.

We run a charity shop where we support people learning new employment skills, and any monies raised go back into funding this facility as well as leisure opportunities.

Our Values

We believe that anyone receiving a service from us should:
  1. be given the opportunity, support, information and encouragement to:
    • take part in everyday community activities,
    • make and maintain valued relationships,
    • make choices about their lifestyles;
  2. be protected from abuse of any kind;
  3. be treated with dignity and respect;
  4. have the right to know who holds information about them and to expect that any information will only be shared with those who need to know in order to care for, support or protect them;
  5. be treated as an individual;
  6. have their religious, cultural and lifestyle needs met.
