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

Shajada

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:

Timebank have lots of voluntary roles and training available, it might be worth taking a look at them?

Hi Sam, Thanks for your suggestion. This is quiet far from as I live in east London. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks, Shajada
