A Manifesto for an Ordinary Life – support our campaign

A Manifesto for an Ordinary Life

Choosing where you live, having a relationship, getting a paid job…

These are not things that most people would see as radical or ground-breaking – just an ordinary part of everyday life. That is not the case with many adults we speak to, however.

That is why a year ago when we launched our manifesto we called it A Manifesto for an Ordinary Life. It has eight themes that people with learning disabilities have told us they want in their lives. If you think a learning disability should not stop you having an ordinary and fulfilling life then support us.

“We are the same as anybody else. We should be treated the same.”
