News on Mates to Dates?

Learning Disability Awareness in Socialing.

I only found out about a mouth ago that Dates to Mates sadly came to an end due to a lack of funding through today's cutbacks. I know we didn't have a great of members anyway but with a deal of slow hard work I believe we would have got there. Most people without disabilies tend to think that it's as easy for people with to get about as much as people without. These cutbacks have caused a lot of problems for eg; Mencap have another social project called Cirlce of Friends cutting back too. Where people with disabilities are going to spend their evenings I don't know. Many people need support to get out and about whether it's day or night, the money seems to be cutting back to support them. Most people become very depressed if they can't get out to meet one another or even make new dates or and mates.For your views please email sarajgorman@googlemail.com Written Monday 20th December 2010
