๐Ÿ’™ | Building Carer-Friendly Communities

Unpaid carers make an incredible difference to the lives of the people they support and to our communities every day.

At Mencap in Kirklees, we work alongside carers, support carers, and rely on the dedication of carers to help people with learning disabilities live full and meaningful lives.

This Carers Week, we're joining the call to create communities that better understand, recognise, and support unpaid carers.

Whether it's in schools, universities, workplaces, health and social care services, businesses, or community groups, even small changes can make a big difference to a carer's daily life and future opportunities.

Find out how you can get involved and support Carers Week 2026: www.carersweek.org

Our heartfelt thanks and sincere appreciation goes out to all our Mencap In Kirklees Volunteers for the incredible work you do within our organisation.

Your dedication, kindness, and commitment to supporting people and their families truly makes a difference every single day. The time, energy, and compassion you give so generously means so much to the people we support. You help create opportunities, build confidence, and bring joy to those you support, and that is something truly special!

It was lovely to see those volunteers attending our celebration lunch at the Greenhouse Cafe this week in celebration of Volunteers Week 2026.

Well Done and thank you to all the Volunteers in Mencap in Kirklees 2026!

As we near the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, just a reminder...

It's always important to look after your own and to look out for signs that those around you might be struggling.

Take a look at some of the activities and day centre care we offer at Mencap In Kirklees. Some of these services can give carers a regular needed break, and for people with learning disabilities, they can help provide a fulfilling, social and active life.

If you are a carer or any member of the Mencap In Kirklees wider community, see how Mencap in Kirklees can support you, and share our services with anyone who you think may benefit.
