Luv2meetU launch Bradford branch

Luv2meetU are pleased to announce the launch of a new branch in Bradford! The launch event takes place on the 8th September at the Studio at the Alhambra in Bradford between 8pm and 10pm. Anyone interested in joining as a member or volunteer is welcome to come along and find out more. Andrea Joy, the support development worker for the new service, said;

'I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Luv2meetU to Bradford. The service already operates from Leeds, Sheffield, Halifax and North East Derbyshire. It’s a unique operation in the North of England where there are very few friendship and dating agencies for people with learning disabilities and should have a real impact on people’s lives here.”

By extending the service to Bradford, Luv2meetU hope to benefit 40 more people with learning disabilities this year.
