I'm Lee and I live in Feltham, with my brother and sister and I've got a dog as well

my mum and dad, I live with them. I go to college, West Thames and I enjoy myself.

I mean Scope is a very good service, we do different activities like

bowling, cinema, sometimes go for a walk, sometimes I go on buses.

We got a diagnosis when Leila was two, of Cerebral Palsy, but we were absolutely bowled over

the man who came

Ian

was superb, and generous with information

he was bursting with information, which is just such a pleasure

that's what we needed.

I was in a very, very lonely, dark place

and I think if I hadn't

went and attended the Scope meetings, I'd probably still be there.

I've been at Scope for 10 years

I love working with the young ladies in the shop

it's really good

I meet different people and customers

although I tend to do the CD's and DVD's

because that has got to be perfect.

This is just a small example of how life is for me

although I do some things differently to you it doesn't mean I'm any less normal than you are.

I am extremely proud that I am part of a community that can gather together and say

"Enough! We don't want any more of this"

and "we are worth more than this".
