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.
