As part of , which takes place between the 18th and 25th of June, campaign. The aim of Make it clear is to ask organisations to provide information in easy read words and pictures for customers with a learning disability.

Dean Meuleman, a Mencap employee says,

"As a person with a learning disability, I can find it hard to understand bus and train timetables. This makes it difficult to travel to new places on my own. I have also had problems understanding letters from the hospital. It would make my life easier if I received clear information with easier words, shorter sentences and images. Having to rely on other people to explain documents stops me from being independent."

During Learning Disability Week, people with and without a learning disability will send information they cannot understand back to the organisation that sent it, along with a Make it clear sticker and campaign letter.
