hi Martin
I live in Manchester and may be able to answer some of your questions. First of all Manchester is a very accessible City with good accessible public transport.
Secondly unless you have someone to stay with initially you might find it difficult to find somewhere accessible to stay. My son looked at over thirty peoperties before finding a suitable flat although as you are not totaly dependant on a wheelchair you may find it easier. You will have to google properties to rent in Manchester to find somewhere.
Care can be found through contacting Social Services Adult Disabilities team or an Agency.
As for finding work. I wouldn't hold my breath. I know at least half a dozen people with C.P living in this area ranging from University graduates down to people with basic school leaving certificates and only one of them is in paid work and I don't think he is a graduate.
However I love living in Manchester and if you have savings to support yourself for a while You will find it a great place to live

Dear kingboy25
I would like to thank you very much for your post. It helped me tremendously. At least now I am aware of problems I may encounter on my way. And direct information from people who had to go through the same are just invaluable.
in your post you have mentioned that people with disabilities have difficulties with employment, is that state of affairs caused by the current economic turmoil, or is it due to the fact that those people have disability?

hi Martin
Looking at the situation from the viewpoint of an able parent of a disabled young man it seems as if the current ecconomic situation has made it really difficult for the current 20 something generation to obtain work. The disabled people who I know are in work seem to be older people who got their jobs during the days of plentiful jobs. None of the young disabled people who were at school with my son have been able to get paid work. Maybe if you have good hand use, good speech some independant mobility and good employable skills and a work history you might stand a chance.
