60th Anniversary 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.

Changing lives for the better

We help people with learning and other disabilities to fully enjoy their rights and give them opportunities to live as independently as possible.

Ealing Mencap:

60 Years of Making a Difference

Since 1965, the world has transformed—The Beatles topped the charts, Japan introduced its first high-speed train, and colour TV was a dream for most. But for people with learning disabilities, opportunities were scarce, and inclusion was far from their reality.

Fast forward 60 years, and while the world has seen many changes, the need for inclusion and support remains. At Ealing Mencap, we’ve grown stronger—like a tree with deep roots and flourishing branches—continuing to nurture and empower those who need us. This 60th anniversary is not just about the past but about looking ahead—celebrating community, strength, and togetherness. Join us as we mark this milestone with exciting events and inclusive activities for all. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our mission, there’s something for everyone.
