The People First conference, which was held in Edinburgh, UK, in 1997, passed the following motion: ‘Day centres should not waste people’s time or people's lives'. This is a challenging statement which will be echoed by many people involved in providing and supporting day services for people with learning difficulties. The present article outlines how the King's Fund Changing Days project has tried to respond to this challenge over the past 5 years. More detailed accounts can be found in the publications which have resulted from the work.
