To give an insight into our values and show how we support people with a learning disability, we created a new 'About Us' film to highlight our work.
Working with Benjamin Film Photography, we spoke with people who use our services and our amazing employees to produce a film as part of our 75th anniversary.
The video was filmed at Herne Bay Hub and features Ellie, Iona, Jez, Leonie, Muriel, Shorne, Tharina, Tina, and East Kent Mencap employees Charlie, Lisa, and Vicki.
East Kent Mencap is a charity that supports people with a learning disability in the East Kent area to live as independently as possible and to achieve the things they want out of life.
Our purpose is to build peoples’ confidence, self-esteem, and skills, as well as create opportunities and choices for people with a learning disability both now and in the future.
