Hello everyone,
I just joined Scope tonight & welcome to other newbies.
Next week we have been on lockdown for a year.
For alll of us nothing will ever be the same again.
Especially with us disabled people.
If like some you have no family contact & support
who do you turn to?
Is it friends?
No because we all have problems & don't want to talk to friends as they have their own problems & struggles.
Can we talk to our medical team,Doctors,Consultants,Nurses,Community
Link Workers,Mental Health Nurses,Occupational Therapists or full time support workers or carers?
We all have our ways of coping & we all really need someone to talk to.
Whether its about benefits,PIP,health,family or no family & eating or not wanting to because you aren't hungry.
It could be any number of things
If there's a voice for disabled people I'd like to be that voice.

Its fantastic that you want to be a voice and I'm sure you will find ample opportunity to be a great help on the forum should you chose to join in.
Thanks for the lovely welcome message & for what you said about me.
I am so excited to be here & be the voice for others & myself.
Plus i know i have so much to offer Scope & its members.
I just wish id had Scope to support me during covid as i really needed it.
There are some amazing charities,NFP & local councils.
I can't wait to get back online in the morning & continue where i left off!
Good night.
