Anna, describes how charitable donations from Consett and County Durham care for people throughout the NE:
"My life is completely different now thanks to the care from Mencap. I'm so happy to have my own flat. I like having my own space and I've decorated it the way I want. I have support with my budgeting and control over my money. I can decide what I want to buy when I want. I'm independent and I make my own decisions about my own life."
Of the 220,000 people with a learning disability in the NE, charitable organisation, Mencap, care for 52,000.
