Outsiders is a social, peer support and dating club, run by and for socially and physically disabled people. Their members have a wide range of impairments, including visual and hearing impairment. All new members are vetted by their disabled volunteers. They are thus very different to other dating sites and all profiles are genuine and they run as a respectful and very personal international private club. Members enjoy peer support, friendship and romance, and many find love. The Outsiders Trust also offers support on relationships, sexuality, dating and sexual services to all disabled people and a wide range of their therapists and health and social care professionals. Finally, Outsiders campaigns for disabled and disfigured people to receive good sex and disability education, and be accepted as sexual, loving partners. Watch the excellent documentary featuring some of their members in their search for a relationship. Web site:
