Ealing Mencap Charity Gala Ball

Join Ealing Mencap to celebrate our 60th anniversary – and party like it’s 1965! To mark 60 years, we’re going back 60 years: expect a little bit of Motown, a little bit of rock ’n’ roll, and of course, a little bit of The Beatles.

Ealing Mencap: 60 Years of Making a Difference

Since 1965, Ealing Mencap has been standing alongside people with learning disabilities and their families, helping them live to their full potential and as independently as possible.

We’re part of the wider Mencap family, but raise our own funds and operate independently in our community. Each year we support over ten thousand people through our day care services, advice, independent travel training and employment programmes – changing lives and challenging inequality across Ealing.

Our 60th anniversary Gala Ball is a chance to celebrate this journey and raise vital funds so our services can continue to support and empower the next generation.
