The band were also the founders of the charity Stay Up Late, a campaign seeking to improve the social lives of people with learning difficulties by calling for more flexible staff hours.[3] Stay Up Late is a national charity promoting full and active social lives for people with learning disabilities. Heavy Load split in September 2012 with a final gig in London's Trafalgar Square as part of the Paralympic festivities.[4] Simon Barker died suddenly on 10 August 2017.[5] Band members
