Stay Up Late film project - Stop Whispering, Start Shouting

Stay Up Late are excited to announce that they've just started filming for a new project (being funded by Brighton and Hove City Council, and in partnership with Southdown Housing Association) which will be producing a way for people with learning disabilities to be involved in judging the quality of the support they receive.

The first stage of the project is filming people with learning disabilities from across Brighton and Hove to find out what they say makes good support. These films will  then be on a new-look Stay Up Late website in the spring.

More news on this over the coming months. Look out for a free launch event at the Brighton Dome on March 15th 2012 to find out more about the project.

Overcoming Obstacles While Being Slapped in the Face With Irony

This is a series of engaging blogs by Tony Evangelista - a growing collection of little stories that deal with little peaks into daily life and how he deals with little quirks and observances of being disabled.

He has been in a wheelchair for a few years now due to progressive MS. He is the type of person that looks forward and can't stand the words "I can't".
