Hi my name is Mark

MarkM88

Just wanted to introduce myself as I was put in touch with Scope Forums by another charity. I mainly joined because I support my mum with her disability, she has a visual impairment and registered partially sighted, and the other reason is because I am passionate about disability rights, equal opportunities, inclusion and equality, and wanted to contribute as much as I can.

Hi @MarkN88 - & welcome to the community. Thank you for joining to support your Mum, & it's great you want to contribute in the forum. The section on Scope about visual impairment can be found here: https://forum.scope.org.uk/categories/visual-and-hearing-impairments

Please do join in with any other topics of interest, & I'm sure you'll find many, by looking at the 'Recent discussions' link at the top of the page. I look forward to seeing you around.

@MarkN88 hi Mark and welcome to the scope forum, look forward to seeing you around and your contributions, hope you are well today? Have you got snow? we have here.

Thanks to you all. I am well, yes. I do not have snow either, it was just lashing it down with rain this morning but its aright now. I kind of hoped I would get some snow as I like to see it, although don't like going out in it.
