‘Making it happen for everyone’ is the subtext of Valuing People Now: a new three‐year strategy for people with learning disabilities (Department of Health, 2009). It seems an appropriate time to take stock and learn from those for whom this strategy will be critical how they view the current services provided, what changes they have seen and where they see the future. This article reviews the experiences of a group of adults in an East Midlands city.
