Our Roadmap to 2030Midland Mencap supports people with a learning disability, their families and carers across the West Midlands
As an organisation, it is important to us to embed environmental and social responsibility into everything we do. We are committed to understanding and reducing our environmental impact, working towards net zero, and supporting climate resilience through sustainable practices. By encouraging active travel and greater use of public transport, we aim to contribute positively to a greener, healthier future for the people and communities we support.
Midland Mencap’s Parkride programme is an accessible and inclusive initiative that supports disabled people to enjoy the benefits of cycling. The programme provides opportunities to learn and develop cycling skills in safe, low-risk environments such as parks and schools, while also helping participants build the confidence to use cycling infrastructure across the West Midlands.
Alongside this, our care and support services encourage and enable people to use public transport, helping to reduce reliance on private taxi travel and promoting greater independence within their communities.
We work with disabled people to ensure that the care, support, and community activities they receive are sustainable for the long term while continuing to meet their individual needs. Our focus on independence, inclusion, and community-based support helps create lasting positive outcomes, reduces reliance on intensive services where appropriate, and contributes to our wider commitment to social responsibility and building resilient communities.
