About Us
Equal Brighton & Hove was a city-wide initiative to support adults into training and employment which completed in December 2007. We did this by providing European Social Funding to a variety of projects undertaken by local organisations. The projects work with people who have experienced difficulty in accessing conventional routes to learning and work. Our aim has been to enhance the employability of disadvantaged local people and provide a skilled labour pool for employers.

The Sussex Business Guide to Disability
The Sussex Business Guide to Disability is aimed at people who run small or
medium sized businesses and focuses on what businesses need to know about
employing disabled people, and the Disability Discrimination Act (the DDA).
The guide provides examples of how easy it is to make changes in line with
the DDA – changes that also have wider business benefits. The guide also
includes a detailed
fact-sheet section. The Sussex Business Guide to Disability was produced by
Disability Equals Business.
The Learning and Training Directory
The Directory is a guide to activities, involvement, learning, work, voluntary work and funding.
BHT is an organisation working with men and women who are homeless or have a history of homelessness . To combat homelessness it is vital that we create opportunities and promote change. National and local research and our own experience has demonstrated that when people engage in activities, learning and work they are more likely to succeed in establishing a sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle.
