Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to postpone this event to Friday, June 14, 2024. All other details for the event will remain the same. 

 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you can still attend the event and learn about our vital community research project.

 

If you already have a booking and can attend the new date, then there is nothing else you need to do. If you are unable to attend the new date, we would appreciate it if you could let us know by emailing our comms team. 

 

Join us in Worthing as we unveil our report on the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on disabled people and carers. This is a chance to meet our researchers and hear the personal stories of those who shared their experiences with us.

 

For several months now, Independent Lives has been working alongside the NHS, researching the effects of the cost-of-living crisis on disabled people and carers. We're pleased to announce our local launch event in Worthing.

 

Join us as we share the findings of our research, meet those involved in the research, discuss the next steps, and share your own views on how we can tackle the challenges currently being presented to disabled people and their carers in our communities.

 

Time:

10:00am to 12:30pm
