About Us

We work together to ensure every parent carer in East Sussex feels that their voice, their views and their experiences matter and contribute towards developing and improving services. We do this by:

Reaching out to parent carers to hear their views

Representing parents’ experience and expertise to decision-makers

Making recommendations for service improvement

For Parent Carers:

Please join us and get involved in raising awareness of our children’s needs, recognition of our role as parent carers and bringing about change.

For Organisations that Provide a Service:

Please get in touch to discuss how we can work together to strengthen your support to local families.
