Imagine not feeling safe with your friends or being too scared to go out? People with a learning disability and autistic people face so many day to day barriers that affect every aspect of their lives, from discrimination and exploitation, hate crime and financial abuse to social isolation.
With funding challenges across local authorities and social care, the lifeline thatLove4Life offers is needed now, more than ever.
Building friendships and relationships is crucial for everyone’s happiness, but for people with a learning disability and autistic people, it can be so much harder.
One in three people with a learning disability rarely or never get the chance to go out and socialise*. Being isolated impacts more than just emotional well-being it can lead to poorer health and shorter lives.
Without the right support to develop the skills that provide the basis for healthy relationships, many struggle to socialise, leading to feelings of increased isolation and loneliness.
We believe that autistic people and people with a learning disability deserve real friendships and love. Join us.
Love4Life brings people together to make friends, learn new skills, grow their confidence and find love. Through our social events and workshops, our members get the chance to try new things, build relationships, and feel like they belong.
