Friendships and meeting people

Hi, I am a mentor to a wonderful 19 year old young man who has cerbral palsy. He has some mobility issues but can walk. He is intelligent, has a great sense of humour and is great company. He went through main stream school albeit with help. He is doing very well indeed but the main sticking point is that he has very few friends of his own age. He lives in Kent. We have not yet discovered any real way of improving this situation for him. Any ideas?

I heard some very positive things about the peer support that people have been able to get from attending their events etc
Best Wishes
