Hi, my name is TonyCH!

Hello Everybody,
I've used a buggy for the past four years and it has improved my lifestyle, but was such a shock to sometimes to become a non person. I found out about scope from a BBC podcast.
I was very surprised and upset to hear young disabled people can suffer abuse when out and about. I've had a few moments but because of my age (78) I'm just overlooked and treated as a child. Amazing how one grows a thick skin! Disabled parking can be a pain with some people begrudgingly thinking and sometimes saying 'What's wrong with you?'

Hi @TonyCH

Wishing you a warm welcome to the online community, it's great to her that you heard about Scope through a BBC podcast. Was it a podcast published today? Scope has released some new research about the attitudes towards disability and there has been some promotion surrounding that I think.

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you Ross, the podcast was mentioned on a BBC news item so I followed it up.
