Finding training, voluntary work or activates for physically disabled people in east London

Hi All,
I have cerebral palsy that effects my body movements and speech, therefore I use any electric wheelchair and have a personal assistant. At the moment I am looking for week day social actives or training, or voluntary work as I have finished my second master degree.
Does anyone know anything I can try? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shajada

Hi @Shajada
Welcome to the community
Scope lists volunteering roles at:
https://www.scope.org.uk/Get-Involved/jobs/jobs-directory?Type of role=volunteering
It might also be worth checking the Scope Services Directory to see if there is a local disability information service in your area that could advise on what is available in the area:

Another organisation that might be interesting as you research opportunities is the Association of Disabled Professionals:
