Each week 200 babies are born with a learning disability.
Mencap needs funds to provide vital help for many children and adults.
So the charity is stirring thousands of supporters to turn cuppas into cash through the nation's largest tea party.
And everyone who hosts their own event gets the chance to win tea at London's exclusive Ritz Hotel.
Please take the plunge for Mencap!
