Funding boost helps Fareham dating agency for adults with disabilities

The boost to Fareham-based Stars in the Sky has been welcomed by Christina Corp who used the agency to meet her fiance Joe.

Christina was in a life-changing car crash more than ten years ago and said before the agency, it was impossible for her to meet friends and potential partners.

Stars in the Sky was given a helping hand to raise the £74,000 it needed by Petersfield-based Fitzroy.

Christina, from Stubbington, said: ‘I always found it impossible to meet other young disabled people, especially with all the cuts going on. Stars in the Sky was so helpful and I still attend events they hold because it is a way to meet friends.

‘I was lucky that I met Joe and we got together.’

Christina added that without Stars in the Sky she wouldn’t have had the confidence to go on a date.

She said: ‘Without the support I had from the volunteers, I never would have gone on a date.
