Empowering young people and adults with learning disabilities and autism to be heard, reach their potential, and feel fully included in their community.

How can we help you?

Every year, HF Mencap supports over 600 people, helping them improve wellbeing, independence and community participation.

Specialist Learning Disability & Autism Support in Hammersmith & Fulham

HF Mencap is one of West London’s leading providers of high-quality, person-centred support for autistic people and people with learning disabilities. We empower individuals to live with confidence, independence and dignity.

We deliver support across two specialist hubs:

Addison Gardens – Life & Wellbeing Hub

A vibrant, fully equipped centre offering day opportunities, sensory work, wellbeing, creative arts, life skills development and community connection.

Bolingbroke Road – Digital, Creative & Advocacy Hub

A modern, inclusive hub dedicated to digital inclusion, creative arts, London Makers, and our Community Advocacy service, designed to inspire creativity, communication, and personal growth.

Although HF Mencap is affiliated with National Mencap, we are independently registered governed, and self-financed. Donations should be made directly to HF Mencap if you wish to support our activities.

We provide the tools, confidence and opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autism to learn, grow and live life to the fullest.
