Hi everyone, I have attended some scope online events previously and Iโ€™m active in other online communities so I thought I would take the time to introduce myself here. My name is Kirsty . I am 38 and have spastic deplegic Cererbral Palsy. My hobbies include reading and eating food ๐Ÿ˜‚. I love music too. I have worked as a qualified social worker for over 16 years. I love it but it is very stressful and Iโ€™m hoping to be able to reduce my hours this year so that I can take a bit more time and have a bit more work life balance.

I struggle a lot with fatigue and frustration that I want to do more in a day than my body will let me do.

looking forward to meeting people and making connections here.

    Hello @KirstyParkinson,

    Welcome to the community! Itโ€™s great to have you here. ๐Ÿ˜Š Your introduction is lovely, and it sounds like youโ€™ve accomplished so much โ€“ 16 years as a social worker is impressive, from my understanding it's such an important but very demanding role. I hope youโ€™re able to find some balance this year and give yourself the time you need to recharge.

    I'm a bit of a foodie myself, what are some of your favourite meals?

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the community, any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
