Today we welcome our friends from Scope's Activities for All service to the online community.

While this Leeds-based group normally work with mainstream activity groups such as Scouts, dance and gaming clubs to make them more inclusive for children with disabilities, they also support parents with accessing shortbreak and activity services. In line with guidance on coronavirus, Activities for All have moved online and are now providing digital workshops, but they've also kindly joined us here on the community.

The team have fantastic experience as play, Early Years and disability workers and from today, @EmmaR_Scope, @LauraR_Scope and @Claire_Scope will be on hand to offer advice on a range of issues affecting disabled children, young people and their parents. Please give them a warm welcome when you see them!
