Stay Up Late’s Annual General Meeting isn’t so much a meeting as a mini-conference where everyone is invited to share their ideas for developing the work of Stay up Late.

This year there will be creative workshops to think about:

“What can we do to end the practice of adults with learning disabilities being told what time they have to go to bed?”

Places are free but you need to book so we know how much food to get!
