Coronavirus update

Our staff are still working hard to support, keep safe and provide opportunities for adults & children with a learning disability in East Kent.

Service update:

We are still working across East Kent.

We continue to adapt our services in line with changes in restrictions in Kent as they happen, to ensure we can support, keep safe and provide opportunities for adults & children with a learning disability in East Kent.

Our supported living services are operating safely as they have since the pandemic began.

We continue to provide community support safely to keep people safe and reduce the risk of infection in line with Government requirements.

Our Day Resources offer virtual sessions as well as a reduced face to face service.

We are still offering virtual sessions, phone/video calls and other support for members who are at home.  Join us every Friday on Facebook at midday to share your stories!

We are providing face to face support through your Kara tablets and support calls.

Our GOLD service continues to deliver online and virtual support.

If you or someone you care about has a learning disability and is struggling during this time, please do get in touch on 01843 808 964 or email info@eastkentmencap.co.uk.

What East Kent Mencap means to you

East Kent Mencap supports people with a learning disability to achieve their potential
  • As person centred plans are used at East Kent Mencap I chose their community support team to work to support Leah as I did not want a ‘sitter service’, but support for her to do the activities that she wanted to do
