I will tag in our CP expert too who may offer more help
We also gave a weekly CP meeting on here held on mondays
As Jane said, @Richard_Scope is our Specialist Information Officer for cerebral palsy, so I'm sure he'll have some advice for you. I'll also tag in @Chloe_Scope.
Have you or your daughter ever heard of CP Teens? They're a really great charity for young people with CP!

Good to meet you!
What sort of thing interests your daughter? When you say that she struggles to maintain friendships, how does that appear?
Your daughter would be very welcome to join us here on the community and CP Teens are very very good too.

Could I join it to?
I am wanting to make new friends around my area which is Derby or around
In Derby there isn’t a lot of youth clubs to go to and to make friends with some similarities to me if that makes sense?
Hope you are all well and safe 😊
what would you classify Derby under as?
Derby East Midlands
I love to be friends with her
I have learning disabilities, heart murmur and speech problems sometimes
Have you tried any local youth clubs?
Tried any Facebook groups that are local or in the same country?
Hope this would help 😊
it doesn’t come up with an option for East Midlands could I have some help please?
Have a good weekend
