    Hi @trish444, lovely to meet you!

    Was there any particular branch of volunteering you had in mind? You might be interested in Scope's advice on volunteering with a disability.

    That sounds reasonable @trish444; I've moved your post into our Ask An Employment Advisor category to see if they have any advice for you.

    I completely agree, if I had a pound for every person who's talked to me like a five year old because I use a wheelchair, I'd be a very rich person! Good on you for wanting to use your limited energy to work with others!
