Hi again. I have learning disabilities following a car crash when I was 26 years old.
I am a sociable person and love writing letters. Is there anyone out there that I can write to? I am also hoping to meet people within my area.

    Hello @rach63

    Welcome to the community! :) With meeting new people in your area, I would encourage you to look and see what events your local council are advertising. I'd also look on social media pages like Facebook for any local events and get togethers. 

    As for PenPals, I can't think of any national organisation. When I wrote letters to my penpal as a child we did it with a local care home and with a church. It may be an idea to reach out to something like that and see if they have a program?
