Sheffield Mencap & Gateway Home Login What we do How we do it Families Our stuff Support us Overview Supporters Home > How we do it > Overview Overview Sheffield Mencap is the leading provider of training and support services for people with learning disabilities in the city and works in partnership with many organisations within Sheffield and beyond. Adults with learning disabilities are assessed from their own individual budget and with this funding they can choose to attend activities at Sheffield Mencap, such as The Learning Hub and Day Services. Sheffield City Council contributes towards the running costs of the Sharing Caring Project. The Empowering Older Families Project, which supports the oldest and most vulnerable families, is funded by the Lloyds TSB Foundation. Sheffield Mencap is a local charity and although we are in partnership with Royal Mencap, the national charity, we receive no funding from them. We operate as an independent local charity and we are responsible all our own funding. We try to keep subscriptions and fees to a minimal level, so that no-one is excluded from our activities due to financial hardship. The charity needs a variety of funding streams and submits as many tenders as capacity allows whilst staying true to our mission statement. In order to maintain and improve the service we offer, we increasingly have to look for charitable funding to supplement the funding we receive via contracts with statutory bodies. Voluntary income accounts for approximately 20% of our total annual income. Our Annual Accounts, which can be easily accessed via the Charity Commission website, show that we don't have large reserves, but instead invest our income in providing grassroots services.
