A DATING agency is being set up in the Island to assist people with a learning disability to find romance.
The agency, which will be called Kindred Spirits and will be open to anyone aged 18 upwards with a learning disability, has been made possible by a £20,000, three-year donation from the directors of F Le Gallais and Sons.
The service, which is due to start in August, will be co-ordinated by 31 year-old David Harburn, who was born with cerebral palsy, and is well aware of the difficulties people with a learning disability face when trying to meet a partner.
The agency will match up men and women and also those looking for a same sex relationship.
