Our Fight

We’re fighting for a world where people with learning disabilities have the freedom to live the lives they choose!

CAMPAIGNING FOR GREAT LIVES

Stay Up Late campaigns for equality. We want to make sure people with learning disabilities are able to have active social lives, full of the things that matter.

We want people to have the right:

To choose how they spend their time and what their lives look like.
To not have their evenings cut short because of inflexible rotas for support staff, blanket curfews or residential homes locking their doors at 10pm.
To have the freedom to see friends and build connections within their community.

We believe that Staying Up Late matters because, if you’re supported to do that, you must be supported in other areas of your life and have people around you who care.

A Manifesto for an Ordinary Life

Our Manifesto for an Ordinary Life was written after talking to lots of people with learning disabilities across the country. They all told us there are only 10 things they really want in life, and they’re all things many people take for granted.

That’s why we called it a manifesto for an ‘Ordinary Life’ – we’re not calling for things to be special, and certainly not normal, just ordinary!

It includes things like:

The right to decide how I spend my time
The right to decide when I go to bed
The right to fall in love and have relationships
The right to a paid job
The right to have a say in who supports me
