Hello lovely Online Community users, 

I’m Sophie from Scope’s Stories team. We share lived experiences to raise awareness, influence change, and support Scope’s mission of disability equality. 

We’re looking for people who’ve had a positive experience on the Online Community and who may feel comfortable sharing it with us. 

  • Have you made friends here?  
  • Has a conversation helped you feel less alone? 
  • Do you see this community as a safe space to share what matters to you? 

If this sounds like you, please fill in this form (it takes about 3 minutes).   

There’s no obligation beyond the form, and you’re always in control. We’ll only share your story with your permission, and you decide how much or how little to share. 

Prefer not to use a form? No problem, simply reply in this discussion with a few lines about your experience. 

Your story can make a real difference, helping others feel less alone and shaping a more equal future with disabled people. 

If you have questions or want to share directly, email us at stories@scope.org.uk

Thank you so much! 
Sophie

    I joined 2024 very bad head space let's say i kicked off at alot of people on this forum and Albus really helped me i will never forget the guidance he gave me that enabled me to become more confident in joining in as writing is not my best strenght scope and people on this forum helped me so much breaking topics down so I'd understand nightcity MW and many more people I found great comfort as you can see I've done over 8 thousand posts!!! I hold everyone very dear to my heart and consider alot of the community my friends online its given me the confidence to email MPs Lords and baroness you name it was sending hundreds in welfare reforms signing pertitions the lot I would be lost without this community

    Next line… "We’re looking for people who’ve had a positive experience on the Online Community". Oh ok just those who've had a positive experience. Btw, overall my experience has been positive.

    I'm glad your experience has been overall positive @MrHappy. The Stories team are looking for positive experiences but the online community team always want to hear if anyone has had a negative experience! You can email community@scope.org.uk, but hopefully you won't need to 😊

    Because I'm neurodiverse, and unable to get a job, I've had more abuse on social media than I care to remember… Some of the stuff I've been called, including on here in the past is unrepeatable in civilised conversation.

    I left after my first post for years, the replies were horrible. Now it just feels like crying into a void. I'm glad some find it helpful.

    I'm sorry you had such a negative experience with your first post @BlackSkiesAhead. I hope that over time we can change that for you.

    I've found out that being part of this community has helped me understand more and getting the advice I've needed whenever I have asked about different topics. I now class the scope online community as new friends and part of my CP family!

    It would be less toxic in a Nuclear power plant at this point
