The Story Trail

12th September 2026

The Story Trail

Amaze, your local charity supporting families with disabled children, has partnered with Wild in Art to bring you The Story Trail—a free, fun and family-friendly adventure.

Between 12 September and 8 November 2026, you can explore a city-wide gallery of more than 30 BookBenches. Each one is an open book, designed by a talented local artist and waiting to be discovered.

The story continues with a heartwarming collection of smaller BookBenches, lovingly decorated by local schools and community groups, adding their own chapters to our city’s tale.

Wander through our vibrant city, pause, and take a seat. Immerse yourself in a world of  stories our community has to tell. Our BookBenches are more than just beautiful art; they are a place for us all to belong.

#SitWithUs in Autumn 2026 for a journey of discovery and joy with The Story Trail.

Dads group – East Sussex

5th October 2026

Dads group – East Sussex

A social group for dads and male carers of children & young people with SEND

Join us in person and meet other dads and male carers of children and young people with SEND in East Sussex. Being a dad or male carer can be isolating; this group will give you the opportunity to make new connections with others experiencing similar things.

The group will be run by Amaze and Mankind volunteer Geoff, and there will be a focus on mental health during some of the sessions.

Refreshments are provided.

To find out more, email [email protected].

Or watch our recent video of dads who attend our Brighton & Hove group, to hear what they get out of the sessions.
