Just reaching out to say hi, due to my health conditions I have become increasingly isolated. I would like to meet new people 👋🏽

Hello there @EmmaLJ

Welcome to the community, I'm glad to see you join us and thanks for posting your opening post. 

Sorry to hear that you have become isolated, but I do hope that taking part in this community will help you to feel better, we have lots to get involved with so please feel free to have a browse.

I would recommend our virtual coffee lounge where we play games and talk about general subjects, and you can also view our full categories list here.

Hi there @EmmaLJ,
I just noticed that you’re already getting involved with some games here on the community, which has put a smile on my face this morning . Do let us know if we can do anything to support you further with the feelings of isolation. There have been a few similar threads recently, so you’re definitely not alone and I’m hopeful that you’ll make friends soon

EmmaLJ

Thank you Danielle, I'm not very good at online groups, so still learning and navigating.
Lots of really good discussion threads to read, it's reassuring there are others in a similar position. 
Do any of you do face to face meet ups at all? 😊

Danielle_2022

We don’t do face to face meetings within the Scope community, but you may find there are different options within your local area. Have you checked out Eventbrite, for example?

EmmaLJ

Thank you, I will look on eventbrite.
😊

Let me know how you get on. I have been looking to be a bit braver about these things myself recently, too

I don't know where you're based but I have found one in Basingstoke on April 1st
