    Hey there @cameron_dunn2 and welcome to the community.

    Wow, that sounds like a very exciting adventure, what's made you choose the UK?
    For all things CP related, I'd recommend chatting to the amazing @Richard_Scope 😊

    Hi @cameron_dunn2

    It's great that you are visiting the UK. What kind of assistance would you need?

    @Richard_Scope thank you for replying, I like to know how are the job situations there? and also what is life like for people who has CP and what are the complet list of services offer there. I am intended on moving there to London, but first i need a work visa I know. I am planning on living by myself, how hard is it for people with CP over there, and what is the utilities and bill situations for paying pcm.

    London is one of the most expensive places you can live in the UK. Here is some information on the average rent prices in London by borough. The job market is challenging for disabled people but it depends on the sector in which you want to work. Here is some information on what you'll need to work in the UK.

    The situation here for people living with CP like us, could be better, but you can say that for the whole disabled community. Things are improving all of the time but not quickly enough.
