Mrs Doreen Frost

We are the home of Bishop's Stortford Mencap

We provide social and educational activities for people of all ages with learning disability: to develop their potential, avoid social isolation by supporting lifelong friendships and to provide respite for their families.

We accept members from all over Hertfordshire, Essex and surrounding counties. If you can get to Grove Cottage you are welcome to come along.

Grove Cottage is a registered charity managed by a board of Trustees with a wealth of experience of special needs and education.

Through a range of direct and indirect services Herts Vision Loss has the mission to serve the county’s estimated population of 22,000 people with severe and permanent sight loss. This number is set to rise to 32,000 by 2020, according to the Royal National Institute for the Blind. The Society has up to 6,000 consultations/contacts with visually impaired people, their family members and carers annually.
