Brighton Hope is a new trauma-informed wellbeing project supporting women who have experienced sexual exploitation, domestic abuse, substance misuse, and other forms of trauma. Led by women with lived experience, Brighton Hope will provide a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where participants can build confidence, connection, and resilience.

Starting in September 2026, we will run a six-month pilot programme for six women, offering one two-hour creative wellbeing sessions a week and a monthly holistic wellbeing workshop led by female practitioners. Through creative activities, participants will explore how trauma manifests, develop practical self-regulation tools, and learn techniques to manage triggers and improve emotional wellbeing.

The programme is free to attend, with refreshments provided, and will work alongside local support services to reach women who can benefit most. Our vision is to create an accessible community of healing, connection, and recovery, helping women move from surviving to thriving while building a model that can grow and support more women in the future.

Parkside Pottery was founded by Emma to reconnect with her creative roots after a 25-year career in the third sector, including leading a children’s and youth charity as CEO.

After training as a textile designer and developing her ceramics practice, Emma created a purpose-built pottery studio in Portslade, where she delivers workshops, courses and a popular after-school pottery club for children aged seven and above. The sessions provide a calm, inclusive, child-led environment where creativity, confidence and wellbeing can flourish, particularly for neurodiverse children.

Emma is seeking funding to provide approximately free or heavily subsidised places across after-school and school holiday pottery sessions for children facing financial barriers. Funding will cover materials, tuition, kiln firings and refreshments, enabling children to learn practical skills, build friendships, improve wellbeing and express themselves creatively. Referrals through schools, family hubs and community organisations will ensure the programme reaches families who need it most.

Paola told the audience.
The Free Chair Massage Clinic offers a short 10–20 minute seated treatment focusing on the back, neck, and shoulders.
Using a combination of acupressure, lymphatic stimulation, and breathing techniques, the treatment aims to reduce tension, improve mobility, and promote overall wellbeing. This is a free, non-means-tested service provided through referrals at a variety of community venues, including churches and pop-up events.
It is available to adults aged 18 to 90+ from all backgrounds, denominations, and genders.

Each session begins with a brief conversation to ensure health and safety requirements are met and to help clients feel emotionally settled before treatment. Following the massage, clients are shown simple stretches or mobility exercises they can practise at home. As a result, every client leaves having been heard, cared for, and empowered to support their own wellbeing. Many clients subsequently return for follow-up sessions to build on the improvements achieved and continue their wellbeing journey.

This service directly supports the charity’s mission to close the wellbeing gap by making treatments accessible in terms of cost, delivery method, and location. Over the past 12 months, approximately £1,000 worth of treatments have been provided free of charge, equating to around 100 mini treatment sessions.

Women Rise Rooted is a survivors’ collective offering forever-widening circles of support for survivors of abuse - based in community and in nature.
At the heart of Women Rise Rooted , is our 8-week nature-reconnection programme based in Stanmer Park for women who identify as survivors.

Women live within patriarchal systems that shape our lives in visible and invisible ways. The harms women carry - whether violence, silencing, shame, disconnection or self-doubt - did not arise in isolation, but within political, cultural, social and historical structures that have denigrated the feminine for generations.
For too long, women have located the problem within themselves. Women Rise Rooted makes these intersecting contexts visible; through practices that offer reconnection with self, community, nature; and ancestral memory.
