Not all disabilities are visible. And what we see isn’t always the whole story.
Someone might use a wheelchair, but that doesn’t tell us about the pain, fatigue or mental health challenges they may also experience. Someone else might live with a long-term health condition, neurodivergence or a mental health condition that isn’t immediately apparent to other people.
...“going from, you know, walking and striding to how I am now has been really difficult, mentally, it’s almost as bad as whatever physical health issue you’re suffering from; having to deal with the change that happens to you mentally.”

“Everyone experiences pain at some point in their life to some degree; it is one thing we all share. So why should we hide it?”
Invisible disabilities take many forms. They can affect how people feel, how they manage everyday activities, their relationships, their ability to work and how easily they can take part in their communities.
They can also bring challenges that others don’t always recognise or understand. People may feel they have to explain themselves, justify their needs or hide what they’re experiencing.
“Everyone experiences pain at some point in their life to some degree; it is one thing we all share. So why should we hide it?”
This festive season, we’re shining a light on invisible disabilities.
As a user-led, pan-impairment charity, Possability People supports disabled people with a wide range of experiences and needs. We know that disability isn’t always straightforward, and that no two people’s experiences are the same.
We want everyone to feel understood, included and able to access the support and opportunities they need.
Help us make more possible
We rely on the support of our community to continue our work with disabled people across Sussex. Your donations help us maintain and develop our services, provide information and advice, create opportunities for people to connect and have their voices heard, and make a positive difference to people’s lives.
We’re aiming to raise £3,000 to support Possability People’s work as we head into 2027.
Every donation, whatever its size, helps us continue making a difference. And by supporting this campaign, you’re also helping us raise awareness and understanding of the experiences that can so easily go unseen.
Be part of it
Whether you donate, share our campaign or help spread the word about invisible disabilities, you can help us make a difference.
Thank you for supporting Possability People and the disabled people and communities we work alongside.
