A summer fair has been hailed a "resounding success" after bringing the community together for a day of fundraising and awareness.
The event, organised by JPK Sussex and Sasbah, took place at JPK’s Church Street site in Eastbourne, which supports people with learning disabilities and their families.
Luke Watts, trustee at JPK, said: "It was a hugely successful day, and I want to thank everyone who came along.
"We had a lot going on – there was a large number of stalls, BBQ, drinks, raffle, tombola and fun games.
"We loved talking about our future plans and having so many neurodiverse people come along."

The event coincided with Learning Disability Week, which raises awareness of learning disabilities and promotes inclusivity and support.
Mr Watts said: "As a team, our staff and volunteers at JPK wanted to demonstrate our support for the learning disability community.
"We need to make society better at realising how wonderful differently able people are, how we can enrich their lives and benefit from them in Eastbourne."
He also praised the turnout and spirit of collaboration.
Mr Watts said: "We were really pleased that the Radio DGH team came along too. So wonderful having so many great organisations working together."
