    Hey @Darce21. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us. How are you today?

    You can certainly look to talk to new people with disabilities. We have a range of disabilities here on Scope's forum and we all have diverse backgrounds.

    I can hear you might, in particular, be hoping to talk to new people with CP. Based on this, you might find our discussion section on cerebral palsy helpful.

    If we can do anything else to help, please don't hesitate to let us know. We are all here for you  :)

    Hey @Darce21:) It is wonderful you have decided to join us. A special welcome to you on the Scope online community! Hope you have a nice week. I find the Coffee Lounge section is an interesting place to start a conversation https://forum.scope.org.uk/categories/coffee-lounge.

    Hi @Darce21

    We work closely with the adult CP community at Scope. I am an adult with CP myself and my colleague and I have set up two virtual meeting groups.

    1. Network CP - This group meets once per month and discusses issues affecting our community - Next meeting is Wednesday the 7th of September at 6pm
    2. CP Sport/Scope Cafe - This group meets every 2 weeks and discusses sport and activity for people with CP
    If you would like to join any or both, please let me know

    Thanks @Darce21, I will get the Zoom link for December's meet-up to you and @Isra1122 would you also like to join us in December? The meetings are made up of adults living with CP and parents of adults with CP.
