Shannara Woodward – East Sussex

Shannara has been part of Gig Buddies in Sussex since 2017. Shannara is a keen supporter of Stay Up Late’s #NoBedtimes campaign: “I started campaigning before the lockdown and I want councils around the UK to listen to us and get involved. Once a council finds out about it and they start work then it’s like a domino effect.” As lockdown eases and places start re-opening Shannara is keen that the message behind Stay Up Late’s #NoBedtimes campaign gets out there and no-one is prevented from enjoying a late night out on account of having a learning disability: “Let’s fire the ball. Let’s rock and roll. Let’s get the campaign going.”
