More about Grove Cottage Mencap:
Enable’s IFA’s charity bike ride to Paris is all in aid of Grove Cottage which is the home of Bishop's Stortford’s Mencap, who provide social and educational activities for people of all ages with learning disabilities. Their work includes “providing high-quality, flexible services that allow people to live as independently as possible in a place they choose.”
Grove Cottage in Bishop’s Stortford provides social and educational activities for people of all ages with learning disability. It means that they can develop their potential, avoid social isolation and find supporting lifelong friendships as well as providing respite for families.
Grove Cottage was set up in 1964 by a group of parents to provide lifelong support for their children, to offer a safe environment to engage in a variety of activities to maximise each individuals potential. They run clubs giving support and help from 3 months to 70+ years. With play groups for pre-school, Youth Clubs, Adult Clubs, Saturday Clubs, Holiday Clubs, Performing Arts Clubs and Speech and Language Therapy.
They have over 120 active members who attend the clubs at Grove Cottage each week and it is important to remember that its not just the members attending the clubs that benefit but also the parents, carers, siblings and wider care network that gain from the respite and support available from Grove Cottage.
Enable’s target to raise for Grove Cottage is £15000 and they are currently at £11.5K, 75 % of the way to their target but can only make it all the way with your help.
