Is it for anyone?

There is an organisation called the The Outsiders Trust that promotes sexual freedom for disabled people. From one of their websites:
******
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.
This work is featured widely in Jessica Kingsley’s book Supporting Disabled People with their Sexual Lives.
We offer all this for free: on the Sex and Disability Helpline, SHADA, SHADA International, the TLC website, and the Sexual Respect Tool Kit.
Outsiders runs the School of Sex for Disabled People so that people with disabilities can better enjoy their own bodies and sex with partners.
*******

Educating carers and other therapists is a major part of their work.

I have never heard off this and thank you for posting it on here ?

Have you heard of the Sex Maniacs Ball (now called Night of the Senses)?. That is Outsiders major fund raiser every year.

I must admit we are a bit out of touch, it was years ago when we were involved in the SMB/Night of the Senses. In fact the first one Debs came with me to help at was, I think, the first after the name changeand the last at the SE1 club.
