SELSTON GOLF COURSE

Only £10 per player, families welcome and some great prizes on offer too !

Everything we do is about valuing

and supporng people with a learning disa-

bility, and their families and carers.

A learning disability is caused by the way the brain develops. There are many differ-

ent types and most develop before a baby is born, during birth or because of a seri-

ous illness in early childhood.

Learning disability is life long. There is no cure and has a significant impact on a per-

son’s life.

Here at the Mencap Regional Fundraising team we arrange a number of events each

year to ensure that the work we do to support families can connue.

We also arrange bespoke events for individuals, groups and companies and unlike a

lot of other charies we don’t just sit behind a desk and send a thank you le�er to

you a�er the event – we are right there with you helping to arrange, set up and

clean away a�erwards.

Get in touch with the team at [email protected] or call our Senior

Regional Fundraising Manager, Marie Brown on 07852 184543 and join in the fun.
