Members of Reading Mencap will be taking part in Reading Mencap's 'Walk a Mile in Our Shoes' event during Learning Disability Week. On Wednesday 18 June, they will be walking 1 mile around Forbury Gardens to raise awareness of learning disabilities.

Please support your friends and family members who are participating in the walk by making a donation to Reading Mencap.

Your donation will help Reading Mencap to provide vital information, advice and casework to people with a learning disability and their families, who are impacted by the cost-of-living and social care crises.

100% of adults with learning disabilities who use Reading Mencap's services said that Reading Mencap had made their lives better.

Reading Mencap's vision is for people with a learning disability in the Reading area thrive as valued members of society and live the lives they choose.

Reading Mencap is affiliated to national Mencap but is a separate charity raising all its own funds to support people in greater Reading, Berkshire. Reading Mencap's website
