Parents of disabled children write book to save services

Parents and carers of disabled children in Brighton have written a book of poems and short stories - in a bid to save their support service.

Scope's Face 2 Face scheme provides a lifeline for 150 people but could close by the end of the year.

Among those writing in the anthology, Paperweights, Kate Ogden, said: “The woman on my course inspired me, impressed me and surprised me.

“I believe it was the first course of its kind for parent carers, and I really hope it wasn’t the last. People must hear us.”
