Peter Maybury I'm the Current Chair of Herefordshire Mencap  (HM).  I joined  as a member of  the Local  Mencap in 1992  when I was employed by  Mencap Management (1992 -2001) to start and establish  the newly formed  social Club , which was soon named the Monday Club by its members , a drop in Centre for people with learning and other difficulties, to find a place of safety and to meet and make friends and to do what they wanted to do leisure activities and Monday evenings'  discos, quizzes, bowling, karaoke and it still runs to this day 24 years later. It has been run by Aspire since 2001.   My role then changed and I became Chair and a trustee of the local society and we quickly developed a committee made up of people with Learning difficulties and other disabilities  to become one of the pioneer local Societies with its members and Trustees making the decisions and asking the questions  on subjects they need  information and answers to  . We as a society can only support  and advise the routes they need to go to get them. They have to  seek the answers .
 I am very proud to be so close to the inner  workings of our local society  and in particular the support from our totally  integrated Vice Chair , committee and Trustees,  giving  me a very rare opportunity to understand more fully the difficulties they face in our society and community and how  they can change the public's perspective.

I have been a co-opted member for several years.  I have learnt all about Mencap and I am happy to become a Trustee.
The difference that I will make is to talk about what it is like to have a learning disability.  
What is good about Herefordshire Mencap? Lots of things because it is a very good thing.  Also being with the other Trustees. 
What would you change?  It's very good the way it is.
