Hi @Quoty
Welvome to the community! Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself?

Quoty

I have learnt that I will need a power chair to get about at work and I find that daunting.  I have had a motability car for many years but it still seems "a thing" to go into a wheelchair.

I know how you feel, I started using a powered wheelchair about 2 months ago. I was petrified of people seeing me in one but nobody treats me any different to how they did before. I feel so lost without it and it's given me so much independence which is great! Initially it is scary but after a few times I'm sure you will be absolutely fine!

Thanks.
