Cumbria Valentine's Day disco brings people with learning disabilities together

A special dating disco has been held in Cumbria for people with learning disabilities to come together for Valentine's Day.

My Community Penrith set up the night ahead of 14 February after noticing a lack of local opportunities for people with autism and learning difficulties to meet others.

Cristina Bowman, from the project, says she hopes following its success it can become a regular event, with different themes.
