Safe Soulmates – Background
Safe Soulmates is a friendship and dating organisation which brings together adults with additional needs to help them find and nurture friendships and, potentially, loving relationships in a safe way, free from 'mate crime', as well as online and 'real life' abuse. Sadly, such experiences are common for people with additional needs when searching for friendship and that special someone online and in real life. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of society. We started with just 15 Soulmates, and grew to 60 within the first few weeks! A couple of years on, and we are now proud to have 170 Soulmates! We love our work, but sadly we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of people with additional needs suffering from extreme and utterly desperate avoidable loneliness. Our work has quickly gone from supporting people to live fulfilling lives to saving lives. If you feel passionately about our cause, we would love to have you on board. We are looking to expand our team so that we can offer many more vulnerable people the opportunity to share in the fun, joy, and social experiences we provide. Our organisation leads with empathy and understanding; we see the results as daily tangible differences in our Soulmates' lives. We celebrate our differences and diversities because we are all united under the common belief that every person deserves to have friends.
