Researchers Looking for Disabled
People to Share Experiences of Life in Brighton & Hove
Count Ability
is a local research project examining the needs and experiences of people with
a disability, impairment or long-term health condition aged 18-65, who live in
Brighton and Hove. It is being carried out by the Federation of
Disabled People and the University
of Brighton, who are
looking for local disabled people to take part in interviews and focus
groups. By taking part in the research,
you can influence how services will be provided by the Council, NHS and other
providers in the next few years. We
particularly want to hear about problems you may have experienced accessing
services as well as services which play an important role in people’s
lives. Make your voice count!
