Brighton and Hove Common Ambition aims to improve support systems in Brighton and Hove through co-production and advocating for lived experience voice to be central to service and system change

We bring together people with lived experience of Multiple Compound Needs (MCN)*, services and commissioners through coproduction to improve outcomes for people experiencing multiple and compound needs.

*Multiple compound needs are two or more experiences of homelessness, domestic violence, mental ill health, substance-use challenges and interactions with the criminal justice system.
