Our Common Ambition is to improve support systems in Brighton and Hove by working collaboratively and ensuring the voice of people with lived experience is central to service improvement and systems change

We bring together people with lived experience of Multiple Compound Needs (MCN)*, services and commissioners through coproduction to improve services and outcomes, and reduce health inequalities.

*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.
