Who we are:
The Grace Eyre Foundation supports adults with a learning disability and/or autistic adults across Sussex, enabling and empowering them to live their lives the way they want to. We are one of Brighton & Hove’s oldest and most innovative charities and support over 600 people each year.
Our vision is for the people we support to be treated and respected as equal citizens, to be valued members of and contributors to their communities, and to be empowered to fulfil their goals and ambitions.
We do this by providing a range of high-quality, person-centred services and projects that enrich and transform people’s lives, including one-to-one care and support, community outreach services, supported living and housing services and a wide range of arts, sports and personal development activities.
All of Grace Eyre’s projects and services are informed and inspired by Our Charter, which was written by the people we support. They tell us they want “good support from kind and friendly

As a small team, we need the help and support of committed, enthusiastic and friendly volunteers. Could this be you?
