Stars In The Sky is a non profit making dating agency run by two women with learning disabilities for adults with learning disabilities. The organization is based in London, UK.
Overview
The subject of people with learning disabilities forming relationships (sexual or otherwise) has often been seen as taboo. SITS is committed to challenging this view and increasing opportunities for adults with learning difficulties to meet others and form relationships.
The group is based in Haringey at the office of HAIL (Haringey Association for Independent Living) and serves adults who have a learning disability in the Greater London area. The two directors are aided by two support staff who do not have disabilities. The agency has been running since 2005 and is the only one of its kind in the UK. The agency was the subject of a documentary made by Betty TV for Channel 4 Television. As a result of the documentary, there is now a Stars in The Sky office in Hampshire. The Stars in the Sky dating agency is also featured in the 2012 Channel 4 documentary also made by Betty TV called The Undateables.
