Disability Advice Centre
Brighton and Hove Disability Advice Centre is an independent service for anyone who requires information and advice about disability related matters. It is a service for disabled people of all ages, living or working in Brighton and Hove, with either visible or invisible impairments. The service is also available to anyone caring for or assisting a disabled person, or for workers in related fields. The Centre is fully accessible, small and friendly. It is staffed by trained volunteers (many of whom have personal experience of disability). We are accredited with the Community Legal Service General Level Advice Quality Mark.
We offer:
- Information, e.g. newsletters, leaflets, & a database on financial benefits, health & care services, equipment, etc., etc.
