Scope = Equality for Disabled People

Scope’s Youth Community Collective

Scope's Youth Community Collective is a community social action group for 18-25 year olds (disabled and non disabled).

Groups currently run fortnightly on Wednesdays 3-5pm. 

Activities include:

  • Socialising
  • campaigning
  • project development
  • skills development

The group's key functions are meeting new people, discussing barriers we face in the local area, developing projects/campaigns to improve our local communities for young disabled people. This might include meeting with local organisations or getting guest speakers in.
