We run two projects across West Sussex:

The first project (starting 1st April 24) supports adults with a disability to access support in issues related to their finances. (For example, benefits, debt or direct payments).

The second project supports parents with a learning difficulty who are in, or at risk of being in Child Care Proceedings.

What we do

• Our experienced staff and volunteers assist people in getting independent advice and support on these issues.
• Our role is to ensure people with disabilities across West Sussex have their voices heard in the issues that affect them and have their rights protected.
• This is a free service, available to working-age adults who are residents of West Sussex, and who meet the eligibility criteria of each project.
