Outreach, Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) and Co-production
Possability People brings four years of experience delivering the Brighton & Hove Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG), a vital part of the local mental health system. They work alongside people with lived and living experience of mental health challenges to shape better services through co-production, outreach and system-wide collaboration.

Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG) and Co-Production
As part of the UOK partnership, Possability People will continue to deliver the LEAG in Brighton & Hove and support collaborative engagement through the Sussex-wide SCALE Network. They will also reach out to communities who are often unheard in traditional consultations and others experiencing inequality, to ensure their voices shape mental health transformation.
Their work is based on building trusted relationships, championing lived experience, and creating safe, inclusive spaces for people to be heard. We offer mentoring and support to LEAG members, create opportunities for involvement and influence, and provide insight to commissioners and providers.
Possability People will also lead the evaluation of peer support and navigation services across the UOK partnership to ensure they are inclusive, trauma-informed, and effective. We will work with some pilot projects to co-develop evaluation tools, deliver joint training, and create opportunities for shared learning.
They aim to support peer navigators and support workers to build strong links with Neighbourhood Mental Health Teams (NMHTs) and community services to ensure peer roles are embedded and consistent. This work aims to strengthen the quality, visibility and impact of peer support within local mental health systems.
