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.

St Leonards disability benefits information session – drop in

9th October 2026

St Leonards disability benefits information session – drop in

Do you need advice around disability benefits or other SEND issues? Would you like to talk to someone face to face? Come along to this monthly drop-in information session at FSN in St Leonards. See the Events calendar for other dates.

Lizzie Batten, Amaze’s Benefits Advice Manager, or another Amaze member of staff, will be there to give you one to one advice. We can connect you to other Amaze services that can help, including our advice services and our groups for parents and young people.

To maintain your privacy, the sessions are run on a surgery basis. So you may have to wait a little while to speak to us. There is a waiting room and tea and coffee.

There’s no need to book and you can just drop in.

If you need advice but cannot attend a drop-in, you can email [email protected] or leave a voice message on 01273 772289.
