Basically the way to solve the problem is contact anywhere you've worked, even if it was a Million years ago like most of my jobs, see if they remember you well enough to be put down as a referee.
It's great to hear you want to volunteer in one of the Scope shops, which one is it? Have you explained the reasons for which you can't provide a reference? I've done this before when volunteering and the majority of the time charities are fine with it, given that volunteering is there to give experience and skills to people.

Family is dysfunctional somewhat so I need an escape
I'm glad you have a place to stay, even though your family is a bit dissfunctional as you say.
Are you able to obtain the character reference from the referee?

Went for a chat today at scope and the manager is lovely I have reffetence I just need to ask them .
I left family due to emotional volence know I've ended up same place
Why is the system not there to protect people or help them.
I'm in my mid forties will I ever have a normal life xx
I'm glad you had a chat with the manager at the shop, hopefully getting the reference goes well
I'm sorry to hear that you go through emotional violence living with your family, what has happened to make you say this?
I don't think there is a such thing as a normal life, because everyone's experiences and journeys are different, however I'm sure you'll be able to get to the place you want to be. Starting voluntary work is a great step towards that, it'll help you to gain valuable skills and experience?
