In this episode of Oldham Cast, we have a really down-to-earth conversation with the Chairman of Pennine Mencap and their coordinator Emily Trelore.

Pennine Mencap is a local charity that supports people with learning disabilities and their families, helping them feel included, supported and part of the community. Their work ranges from advice and advocacy to social activities and day-to-day support that many families rely on.

We talk about what life is really like for people with learning disabilities, the challenges they face, and how important it is that their voices are heard. It’s an honest and thoughtful chat about care, dignity and why community support matters so much in Oldham.
