Specialist Vocational Support
Impact’s Workability projects help people with mental health needs and disabilities to access education, training and work.
Workability projects offer one to one and group support in a stimulating and supportive environment. People are supported in matching their skills and abilities to suitable jobs and courses and planning their career development at a pace that is comfortable for them.
Workability consists of two teams covering Brighton & Hove and West Sussex.
Workability also supports employers to develop positive and sustainable working relationships with their employees.
“Workability gently eased me into going back to work, particularly when I was feeling very low. I found them helpful and they gave me confidence.”

Bridge the Gap
"In 1978 IMPACT’s original vision was to: 'Bridge the Gap'. That is to provide services for hard to reach, excluded communities and individuals across Sussex, to ensure access to services and support where there is clearly identified need. We continue to maintain this vision and I am continually inspired to see the range and quality of our services, the dedication of our staff and volunteers and the number of people we are able to help"
Mike Long, Chair
