Coffee with Ron: Mencap’s signposting service for carers

Richmond Mencap has launched a new signposting service called Coffee with Ron to support parents and carers of people with learning disabilities. This informal initiative is designed for those who may feel unsure about where to turn or need assistance navigating local services for their loved ones.

Ron provides a welcoming space to listen and offer reassurance to anyone supporting someone with a learning disability. The service aims to help individuals understand their options and find the right support for their specific journey.
