Here are some photos from their first days with us! 📸

Mencap NI wants to hear from you! 📣

Recently, Mencap NI launched a survey to ask people with a learning disability about their thoughts and experiences about voting.

We have had lots of amazing feedback already but we would love to hear from more people with a learning disability about their thoughts and experiences!

So we have extended the survey until Monday 14th September, you can complete the survey at the link below! 👇
