‘What’s Out There’ is a free event that is open to anyone with learning disabilities or autism, their family, carers or just people who are interested in finding out more. They provide information, support and most importantly opportunities to those who are often marginalised in the workforce.
After a very successful event last year- with more than three hundred attendees – they are looking to make the event even bigger and are asking for new groups and organisations to get involved. If you think that you could provide free or low-cost opportunities in the community, offer advice and support or host an activity people with learning disabilities, then the council urges you to take part!
It’s an opportunity for a fun day out too, with activities including cricket, dance, table tennis and Capoeira also part of the event.
The event will take place on Thursday the 18th of July, from 10 am until 3 pm at BHASVIC.
Last year advice and information was available from 45 organisations including Albion in the Community, Brighton & Hove Buses, Carousel, Grace Eyre, Gig Buddies, Mencap, Switchboard, Team Domenica, the council and the NHS.
For more information or to express an interest in getting involved, please email WhatsOutThere@brighton-hove.gov.uk or call 01273 295550 by Friday 10 May.
The event is being organised by Brighton & Hove City Council, Brighton & Hove Speakout, The Carer’s Centre, Amaze and Brighton & Hove CCG.
