Hi, my friends son has cerebal palsay and needs new friends able bodied and/or with disabilities

lifeohlife

hi, my name is liam,  my friend anita has the most loveable and loving, handsome son who is an independent wheelchair user who goes out alone in his car for a day needing no help or anyone with him and he often does.  he lives  in England and is 24 years old, with the funniest quirky sense of humour and when i phone my friend he always says hi and we chat and he ends up cracking me up laughing..
he is so clever and quick witted with  A levels up the wazu!,   a very intelligent young guy.
the problem is that he is isolated and finding friends is so so difficult for him and as i was unable to make new friends for different reasons, at his age, i dont want it to be the same for him,  he is very shy until he gets to know people,  same as i was at that age, you know.
anyway i would be so grateful if someone could help as he needs to find some friends his own age now with or without disabilities.
its such a waste that he is alone when he is such a great young guy with so much to offer,
so if anyone would please help with any ideas as to how to get him out and about with young adults his own age to socialise and have fun with please please anything or anyway you can point me or whatever you know that could help i would be so very grateful.
its just a shame as i know that if he could meet new friends with or without disabilities they would love him and he would flourish.
i live in omagh in ireland so i only get to chat to him by phone as we havent been able to visit our friends for many years now.
anyway thank you so much for listening to me im not sure what info i am allowed to post here as in ( a mobile phone number )  but if its allowed please ask me or message me for any further information you may need that i can give you.
thank you so very much for listening and with hopes for any help you can give.
sincerely

Hi Liam, welcome to the community!

Perhaps you could suggest your friend join the Scope communityhimself and then he can get involved.  We have a great group here with tons of experience that he could benefit from if he wants.
  
In the interest of internet safety, it is best you don't share your phone number, but other members can comment on your post and contact you that way.

Hi @lifeohlife!

Where about in England does he live? We have information and advice workers around the country who might know about local groups he can get involved with?
