I’m new here, just introducing myself. I have an issue with a PIP claim so I am going to make a thread about that.

Thanks for this website - I have already found it helpful.

Hi, I'm new here. I can't wait to get chatting and taking or giving advice. I'm 71 years young,divorced with a great son 34 who has Aspergers. He's a volunteer at Scope in Cardiff and also St Vincents.

Thanks everyone, this seems like a really nice place

frandee - I also have Asperger’s myself. Great to hear that your son is able to do volunteer work! I am hoping to get into some volunteer work myself once I feel a bit better.

Great to have you with us @66Mustang. What sort of volunteer work are you thinking of doing?

Thanks for the welcome Adrian, I'm enjoying looking around the site

I’m really not sure at the moment what sort of work. I think of a lot of things but whatever I think of there is a barrier to it. We are working on those though.

Putting aside my issues ideally I would volunteer to drive people to and from hospital as I love driving. Also I’m good with numbers and finance so could do some kind of “amateur” accounting. 

If I did something right now though it would have to be from home.

Hi @66Mustang. There's a few volunteering from home roles out there. If it helps, we have a list of Scope's current volunteering opportunities here.

Thank you for the post, Adrian_Scope! I had a look and the research panellist looks quite doable for me so I may sign up to that one.

Glad to hear it @66Mustang!
