    Hello @Polar_barea very warm welcome, how are you? :) 

    Great to hear you are looking to get back into work, but I'm sorry to hear your confidence has gone. I know how you feel, I've been in that place where confidence is hard to come by but I can assure you that you will have skills that will be valuable to many employers. 

    Volunteering, in my opinion, is always a good bridge into work as it offers a chance to gain skills and experience, have you considered this? Also, Scope have a range of services that are designed to help people find, get and maintain work, such as the Support to Work programme.

    Do you know what sort of work you would be looking for?
