We are thrilled to share the outstanding success of our Remember this December campaign. With your incredible support, we raised over £2,000, directly impacting the lives of disabled individuals across Sussex.

Highlights of the campaign included the creation of 50 wellness bags for our home first customers, adding a touch of care and comfort to their lives. The excitement continued with our prize draw, where we sold over 400 tickets, leading to 43 lucky winners.

But that's not all – our five brave Santa's took on a remarkable challenge, dashing a combined total of 25 kilometres along Brighton seafront, showcasing the spirit and determination that embodies Independent Lives.

This campaign was more than just a fundraiser; it was a demonstration of our community's strength and compassion. Together, we have taken significant steps towards reducing social isolation and enhancing the well-being of disabled people in our community.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your support makes all the difference. Check out our fundraising page below to see what events we’ve got planned for 2024.
