A living manifesto for a better life for people with learning disabilities

The BELONG manifesto, launched by Beyond Words and Access All Areas, is a call to action for more inclusive communities everywhere.

When the institutionalisation of people with learning disabilities has ended...

  • and there is enough money to spend on food and essentials,

  • and there are opportunities to make some choices in life

  • and people with learning disabilities feel good about themselves

  • and their friends

  • and there is an end to being bullied, assaulted and called names

  • and everyone can access healthcare, education and employment, on equal terms

We will all BELONG.


Six ways we can be sure of feeling good about ourselves and our friends:
