Hi 😊

I'm Rachel and I'm a new community coordinator! I'm really excited to get stuck in and get to know you all.

I love listening to music and pretty much any genre goes. I have 2 mischievous cats who keep me busy and a teenage son. I'm always open to new hobbies and interests and love learning about new things, so please share yours with me if you feel comfortable 😊

Bear with me while I get used to everything and my new role, but please come and say hi!

    Great to have you on board @Rachel_Scope! I'm sure the community will make you feel welcome in no time 😊 and we will obviously be demanding some pictures of those cats of yours, but we'll let you settle in a bit first!

    Welcome!!!!! πŸ˜€ 😁 πŸ˜„

    I think we will take a lot of co-ordinating but at least you have some experience with the cats (and the teenager) πŸ€”

    Hi Rachel,

    I hope you are well this evening and welcome to Scope. I hope you enjoy the role of the new online community co-ordinator.

    Rachel, my name is Balkar. I am a 53 year old man and I live in Welling in Kent - which comes under the London Borough of Bexley.

    I have been a member of scope for many years and was at one time a member of the Regional Committee for London and the South East. My Cerebral Palsy has been characterised as Spastic Diplegia

    I am particularly interested in joining the cp network on line on Wednesday evenings. I did email network cp@scope.org.uk but it would appear Rachel that my email has not gone through.

    Best Wishes,

    Balkar
