I WRITE to you to praise Mencap.

I have health problems like many. Mencp gave me the opportunity to work for them as an ambassador and I have enoyed it ever since.

The small team in Eastleigh are a pleasure to work with. They help give people like me confidence to work and enjoy life. They help and support people who have disabilities to return to work.

I urge any employer who has jobs available to contact Mencap and give a person a chance of work. And those looking for work should talk to their Job Centre adviser who will guide them, if needed, to Mencap.

MARK ROWE, New Alresford.
