How you can help Every member is an adult who makes their own choices. Your support works best when it helps the person decide for themselves. Some ideas: Set up the profile together. Help choose clear photos and write a few lines about their interests. Let them decide what to share about their disability. Talk about what they’re looking for. Friendship, dating, or seeing who’s out there are all good reasons to join. Practise a video call. A call with you first can make the first real call less stressful. Agree on a few rules. For example: no sending money, no sharing the home address, and a video call before any meeting. Plan first meetings together. Pick a busy public place, sort out transport, and agree on a time to check in. Check in without taking over. Ask how things are going. Try not to read their messages unless they ask you to. If we have serious concerns that a member can’t make informed choices about using the app, we may suspend their account.
