BACKGROUND & AIMS OF IMPACT INITIATIVES Providing a voice, hope and change for Sussex people in need. Impact Initiatives was founded in 1978 to resolve the social issues that Brighton and Hove communities were facing at the time. Our founders were a diverse collection of individuals who cared enough about community issues to come together and act against the injustices they saw on their doorstop. Over the years Impact has grown and evolved as an organisation but what has never changed, is that we continue to provide a voice, hope and change for the people who need it most. Today our services work tirelessly to support, champion and inspire children, young people, adults with disabilities and older people. Ultimately, we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to be the best they can be. Our vision is for Sussex people of all ages to reach their potential, living healthy and fulfilling lives. Impact’s model of having a Central Team - who provide expertise in finance, HR, IT and facilities, health and safety, and business development - ensures each of our specialist teams can focus on excellence in individual service delivery and development.
