      He might have good intentions but this campaign negatively impacts one of the worst paid and difficult jobs around. A donation or a charity event would have been better.

    Very moving interview. I was gonna say her last question was irrelevant , but when he was answering I realized it was good to end the interview on a lighter note.

    This really got me! I love how he wants to help out! I have a learning disability as well. I learn slower than others. Like if someone without a learning disability had a 12 week math program, I would need a 24 week math program to learn all that I needed to know. My family members keep on telling me to get the care and medicine I need but I don't have the money to afford it and my insurance does not cover for it at all. I turn 26 next year so I can find a better insurance to help cover for the care and medicine I need when I am no longer on my family insurance. But this makes me happy to know that someone such as Kit Harington wants to help and understands those like his cousin with disabilities. This made my day.
    If you happen see this message Kit Harington, Thank you so much. 😊❤️💙

    I agree with this, people more and more trying to get rid of children because they are born disabled and so on that's just fucked up.

    all charities have become businesses.......with highly paid executives

    • @eviestonehouse7556

      I'm not going to be subtle about this but you're wrong quite frankly. Mencap is split into branches which look after their own fundraising. Coming from someone who's mother works for mencap and has a brother with a learning disability, mencap branches do not have highly paid executives, they have normal people getting paid an average wage to help vulnerable people. Furthermore, they are part of a team of dedicated and hardworking individuals who truly care about giving the best services and help to those who are the most vulnerable. They argue in court and with those in places of authority who have no idea of the impacts their benefit reductions and housing bills that they make on those who it affects. The work mencap does is vital and nobody else seems to want to do it. Mencap is a CHARITY that is little known so lacks the amount of celebrity backing and funding that other charities which may be run as businesses get. Mencap is an incredible group of people who deserve more attention for the good they do to local communities.

    What about charities for transgendered people. What about all the FTM's. We need a charity for FTM's
