Thanks to all who've contacted me, what a great welcome, I've started to explore and check out the "get started guide", I can see I'm in great company, it will take me a little time to get confident, thanks again.

Hi @jontieb - Welcome from me too. Sorry to read about your's & your wife's problems, but how lovely that you both volunteer with your local Parkinson's Support group, & then to read that you wish to understand problems other disabled people face too, I can only thank you for joining Scope's online community.

Seems like you're looking around this forum OK, but if you have any questions about this please say.
