We had our last event On Saturday 2nd May 2009. It went alright, very few people still turned up. I have heard that most people are paying but not turning up, I may have told you before in Mates to Dates reports that we do not do refunds sorry, which means we can not pay you your money back.
We are aware that help for transport still is not good enough. We are still working as hard as we can to get the Travel Buddy together. We are still waiting for a building to run our business. We think it could end up been at Albert road Wolverhampton mid to late summer. I know we promised April this year but it has taken longer than we excepted. We won't be just helping people with disabilities with traveling but other areas of our lives too. This is why we will be calling ourselves ACCESS FOR ALL AREAS NOW! Sorry to say that it could happen very slowly I guess for us to support areas at once very quickly. Running a business does not happen quickly as a lot of you may well know. It can take a lot of time and money as I have said in the ACCESS FOR ALL AREA NOW! report.
If you help people with disabilities in anyway, please help them to get out and about to enjoy themselves. Please don't be too over protected but just be there if they want you there. Please don't stop them doing what they want to do and give them their own choices in their lives with the right support.
We worry about drinking, nobody is saying that you can't drink, you are adults after all. Please be careful for not only for your safety but the safety of others. Sometimes when people drink far too much, they can say things that they don't mean. When you say how you feel about people on Mates to Dates you could say one thing on the night but not feel the same the next day. After you have had a date with each person, we will give a piece paper so you can tell us what you think about each person. On the piece of paper there are three pictures a man and woman loving one another that means dates, Two people putting hands on their shoulders that means mates and two people standing back to back meaning that they don't want to know one another. It's very important that you are truthful of how you feel about people. It's also very important that the people dating you tell the truth of how they feel about you. You will circle the picture to say how you feel about each person you have had a date with. If you have a match in a matter of days we will contract you but it could be a match as a date or a mate.
I am sorry that on my website I haven't really got the tools make it accessible but if you need any help in reading and under standing in what I am trying to say on my website, you are very welcome to email over anything at any time. Don't always except quick respond because I can be very busy! sarajgorman@googlemail.com
