A huge thank you to everyone at Bungard Funeral Directors in Hove for supporting Impact Initiatives as your Charity of the Year.

We are incredibly grateful for the fundraising, awareness and encouragement you've provided throughout our partnership. Your support has helped us continue delivering vital services across our local communities.

It's been a pleasure working together, and we look forward to working with you again at this year's Ageing Well Festival. Thank you.

As our Charity of the Year partnership with Impact Initiatives comes to an end, we would like to thank the team for allowing us to support the incredible work they do across our local community.

It has been a pleasure working alongside such a dedicated organisation and helping to raise awareness and funds for the vital services they provide. We are proud of what we have achieved together and look forward to seeing the continued positive impact they make in the future.

Thank you, Impact Initiatives, for a fantastic partnership.

We're still reflecting on the conversations and connections from our first-ever Sharing the Space: Childhood Anxiety Conference 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to our fantastic contributors from University of Sussex, University of Brighton, Anna Freud, Brighton & Hove Federation of GPs, Brighton & Hove City Council, YMCA DownsLink Group, Grassroots Su***de Prevention, and our own team at Impact Initiatives.

💬 "We can't just work in isolation"
💬 "My head is buzzing with ideas"
💬 "Having different sectors come together and pool our knowledge is so important".

Childhood anxiety is complex, but by sharing knowledge and working together, we can help create better support for children, young people and families.

Thank you for making our inaugural conference such a meaningful day.

We’re hosting our first Sharing the Space: Childhood Anxiety Conference at Bramber House tomorrow, bringing together experts from health, education, public health, the voluntary sector and local communities.

With 80 attendees and an incredible line-up of speakers, we’ll be exploring how earlier recognition, stronger collaboration and shared expertise can help prevent childhood anxiety from reaching crisis point.

A huge thank you to our speakers, partners and everyone involved in making this event possible. University of Brighton | University of Sussex | Anna Freud | Brighton & Hove City Council | YMCA DownsLink Group
