Dates-n-Mates (Clacks)

Charity registered in Scotland SC052107

The key aim of Dates-n-Mates is to support adults with learning disabilities to build meaningful friendships, develop relationships, and feel truly connected to their community.Many of the people we support tell us they often feel lonely or left out, which in turn has a huge impact on their mental health. Through our monthly programme of social events and activities, we provide safe, welcoming and affordable opportunities for members to connect and build those all-important relationships. This in turn helps tackle the mental health inequalities experienced by this ‘at risk’ group, reduces isolation, and helps prevent the wider impacts of poor mental health.
