    Hi @gerrard my name is Jaide and I'm a member of scope's community and I also work in one of the charity shops that Scope through a project called Project Choice. The reason why I have came to be a member is to get to know a bit about  Scope and the work that it does. I also want to help this community as I'm very fortunate I'm ok at the moment but I know not many in this community are. Any questions just ask away and I hope to see you around the forum.

    Hello @gerrard

    I'm so sorry you haven't been in the best health, I agree with Teddy's comment about having an assessment by Social Services. Can I ask if you are with a housing association?

    It may be best to then have your assessment and whilst doing so, I'd reach out to your local council to see what else they could advise.
