Amaze and WSPCF announce merger in 2026

We have some exciting news! 

From April 2026, Amaze will host West Sussex Parent Carer Forum (WSPCF) in the same way that they do Brighton & Hove Parent Carers’ Council (PaCC) and East Sussex Parent Carer Forum (ESPCF).

As a charity, this means we will merge with Amaze, but the relationship will be identical to the way they host PACC & ESPCF; the forums retain their individual identity, activities and goals, but Amaze provides their back-office, and support where needed.

This merger will make all three forums more resilient and ensure the voice of Sussex parent carers is heard loud and clear amidst coming changes in SEND and local governance. 

Read more about the reasons for the merger and the process we will follow in our news item co-written by Amaze and WSPCF leaders, Sally Polanski and Rowan Westwood.
They explain what this will mean for each charity and for the voice of parent carers across Sussex.
