Hi there,

I was just wondering if there's any befriending opportunities out there with Scope? I can't see any so if anyone can help I'd be grateful!

Thanks.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering for Scope.

In many areas there are Face2Face groups where parents of disabled children volunteer to befriend other parents.

If you were thinking of befriending for disabled adults we don't have a national scheme but it would be worth you enetering your postcode into the 'Scope Nearest You' search box:
http://www.scope.org.uk/nearestyou
to see what services/local groups are in your area. If there is something near you that you would like to get involved with contact the manager of that service direct to see what volunteering opportunities might be available.
