The couple from Yorkshire both have Down's Syndrome and recently took time to discuss how their relationship blossomed. Emily and Luke spoke to WorkFit Employment Development Officer Becki Bateson, about how they communicated through lockdown, their socially distanced meetings, and all about their first date at KFC.
