🌊 Glasgow Members Visit Loch Lomond! πŸ¦¦πŸ’™

Our Glasgow members joined up with our friends from Renfrewshire for a brilliant trip to Loch Lomond as part of Scottish Learning Disability Week!

We started the day with lunch at Jurassic Grill πŸ¦–πŸ” before splitting into groups. Some members headed out on a boat trip, while others enjoyed exploring the aquarium. 🚀🐠

The weather was a little drizzly, but that didn’t stop us enjoying the views and making the most of the day. We even got the chance to see some otters! 🦦

A fantastic day spent with friends, making memories and enjoying new experiences together. πŸ’™

Can you believe it has already been one week since our Love Without Limits conference in Aberdeen?

We are still thinking about the impactful conversations that were started and the experiences shared on the day.

Take a look at a quick glimpse into the event in this video.
You can also read about it on our blog: https://datesnmates.org.uk/love-without-limits-2026/

Glasgow member, Tony, did an amazing job welcoming guests, participating in our lived experience panel and co-hosting a session with Donna-Marie... what a star!

Thank you to all of our speakers, attendees, members and colleagues for getting involved... we are already beginning to think about love without limits 2027!!! ❀
