Charities

We use sport to empower, inspire and motivate local families. We adopt a fully inclusive approach working alongside the whole family, offering fun sports and healthy activities to improve fitness and build confidence. This helps inspire and motivate the whole family, encouraging them to raise their aspirations and make positive long-term lifestyle changes. Changes may appear to be very small, but for many of the families these are often hugely significant.

We believe the best way to support and empower local families is to build their trust in us, build relationships and as a result a sense of belonging. Ensuring that everyone feels genuinely valued for their contribution is key to all our activities. To achieve this, we offer a flexible, caring, solutions-focused approach when engaging with families and provide a wide range of tailor-made programs including our Whole Based Mentoring, the H.O.P.E. Programme (Health Opportunities through Physical Education) and our social activities program for young adults with learning disabilities.

We are a charity providing social and leisure opportunities to children and adults with Learning Disabilities.

We run weekly social clubs, sports clubs and projects. We organise annual holidays and weekend breaks. We arrange day trips and activities.

At Keynsham and District Mencap Society we believe all children and adults with a Learning Disability should be able to access the same play, social and leisure activities as their peers.

We help people to make the most of their lives – to get a little more independence, to build friendships, take part in exciting activities and new experiences.

We run a Members Committee that meet quarterly. They tell us what they want from their clubs and how we can improve the services we offer.

Keynsham & District Mencap Society services are available to anyone in Keynsham and the surrounding areas with a Learning Disability and to their families.

Keynsham & District Mencap Society works with all who want to improve the quality of life for people with a learning disability. It works in partnership and co-operates with all statutory and voluntary agencies that share its aims.
