Between 2023 and 2025, East Kent Mencap has integrated sustainability into every aspect of its work, achieving measurable progress in environmental responsibility, inclusive employment, and financial resilience.
Through our ScrapStore and estate audits, we enhanced our carbon reduction efforts and circular economy practices. We increased inclusion by expanding supported employment and launching a university-backed ambassador programme that amplifies lived experience in research and policy.
Financially, we transitioned from vulnerability to long-term stability, reinvesting surplus into mission-led activities. Looking ahead, we will publish a comprehensive Environmental Action Plan by 2026 and continue building partnerships that connect sustainability, opportunity, and community wellbeing.
