Story
FitzRoy transforms lives every day by supporting people with learning disabilities to do the simple things that make a real difference to their everyday life. Our values guide us each step of the way and are as important now as when the charity first began. Our vision is a society where people are treated as equals, regardless of their disability. Our mission is to transform lives by supporting people with learning disabilities to lead the lives they choose.
One of FitzRoy’s main initiatives is Love4Life - a friendship and dating project for people with learning disabilities and autism, offering workshops and social events to help members make friendships and build relationships in a relaxed atmosphere. Events include bowling, night club outings, karaoke nights, movie nights, pamper days, parties and proms, picnics and restaurants, shopping trips, sports theatre trips and music festivals. If two members decide that they would like to go on a date, FitzRoy provides a trained chaperone for up to three dates in order to ensure a safe dating experience. Workshops include cooking, health and wellbeing, friends and relationships, CV writing, travel training and more… #love4life
