💭 When you started dating, who did you seek advice from? A sibling? A school/college friend? What if you don’t have those connections? Or you face barriers? 👏Fabulous to see @datesnmates members supporting each other to think about first dates and healthy relationships.

Our Aberdeen branch recently hosted a relationships workshop where members shared their ideas and acted out 'good' and 'bad' things to do on a first date and qualities in a relationship. It was a great session and our members are brilliant actors!!

Disabled people in Scotland have been at the back of the queue for too long, facing worsening inequality and poverty. We are joining disabled peoples' organisations in Scotland to make sure they are a priority for the Scottish Government #scotgov #DisabledPeopleDemandJustice
