Hi, I'm Sam and I am the new community officer

Hi there, 

My name is Sam and I am the new community officer here at Scope looking after the community along with Chris.  I am looking forward to getting to know you all and getting involved in your awesome group.

So, a bit about me? I am a mum of three, I live in Sheffield and I also run a blog about Inflammatory Bowel Disease and invisible disabilities.  I have Ulcerative Colitis and a permanent ostomy bag.  I have two dogs, one cat and six chickens and I love films, music and knitting (terribly!)

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hi Sam and welcome, although I only joined in the early hours I'm sure there is a wealth of help information and support for everybody here.
A  little about myself, I have epilepsy partially paralysed in my left arm+leg.  I have lived with  these    since the age of Fifteen Ironically I work as a hospital social worker for 27years before retiring early to the Dorset coast last year. Since this time I have developed pancreatic insufficiency. I wondering if you knew of this and of any support groups/agencies.
Hope all is well, keep in touch Bob
