| Footage description: | Jonathan is 25 and has never had a girlfriend. Perhaps a local scheme that attempts to play matchmaker will be the answer. Kelvin and Elly are planning their wedding in August. They met in their residential home, are in love and with the blessing of their parents are looking ahead to a shared future. Kes is 25 and has just joined the same dating agency as Jonathan. Her restricted social life and high ambitions for a partner have made it hard for her to meet men. Perhaps the agency will be the answer for her? In a recent Disability Now survey, 84% said that they had never been given specific advice about the sexual needs of disabled people and many had been discouraged from the idea of sex altogether. |
