A Wanstead pub has named Redbridge Mencap as their 2014 Charity of the Year.

The team of The Nightingale, Nightingale Lane, will hold a series of events to raise money for the learning disability charity.

Redbridge Mencap’s chair, Karen Fineberg, said: “Support from The Nightingale is very much appreciated and will enable us to invest and ensure the members have more choice and opportunity in their lives.”
