This short paper considers risk from the perspective of people with learning disabilities. The two men narrating their experiences are members of a London-based Tuesday Group which helps people understand about good mental health and staying well. They are both independent but do need some outreach support. The paper explores issues around the risk of unwanted attention and keeping safe when going and how being members of this group has supported them in managing the risks they might face.
