In response to Fiona Turner's letter, "Looking for disability advice?" (Letters, April 27), we were sorry to hear it was difficult to get hold of the Disability Advice Centre.

We have been experiencing difficulties and staff shortages. However, the centre is open between 10am and 1pm, Monday to Thursday.

We agree that sometimes information is difficult to access and to that end we are in the process of developing a website with Brighton and Hove City Council to improve information available to residents and people visiting the city.

The Federation of Disabled People are always looking for volunteers to help in their many projects promoting independent living. Please contact us on 01273 208934.
