If you are based in Brighton, you might be interested to join the following session on Monday 17 August run by Possability People.

Their upcoming Get Involved Group (GIG) meeting is focused on exploring what it is like to live with a condition or impairment that isn’t necessarily always visible to others.

They would like to hear about your experiences and are also welcoming Ruth Rabet, a co-creator of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme.

Ruth will tell the group more about the scheme and, most importantly, hear directly from you. If you already wear a Sunflower lanyard, they'd love to hear how it's been for you.

GIG meetings are a relaxed, social space that run as informal drop-in sessions. You can join for the whole meeting or just pop in for a while.

- Monday 17 August, 1.30 to 3.30pm
- Montague House, Montague Place, Brighton, BN2 1JE (wheelchair accessible venue)
