About Punks In The Community?
This website is a project by the charity Stay Up Late so we can share more about what we’ve learned in creating a grassroots charity.
Stay Up Late went from being a campaign by the punk band Heavy Load to becoming a national movement and a charity.
The focus is:
- Campaigning and activism, fighting for the right to party and an ordinary life
- Starting a charity
- Licencing a project (learning from our experience with Gig Buddies)
This blog is all about the stories that inspire us to create a better world, particularly in social care, we’ll share our thoughts and experiences and a few weird anecdotes from the Heavy Load days that have shaped the charity and the way we work.
