Fifteen people from SASBAH visited the town of Deadwood, situated on Wattlehurst Farm at Kingsfold, near Horsham.
The town recreates life in 19th Century America. All trappings of modern life are banned and residents walk around the streets in full cowboy attire, dropping into the saloon for a whisky or the hardware store to pick up a rifle. There is a bank, a school, a blacksmith's forge, a church and lots more.
SASBAH, which stands for the Sussex Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, is a registered charity that supports children and adults affected by spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and related conditions across Sussex.
Founded in 1965, the organisation works to help individuals with these lifelong, challenging conditions maximize their potential and fully participate in community life.
Rom Sanglaji, CEO of SASBAH - The Sussex Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus - said it was a wonderful opportunity for the group who went.
He said: "We were very lucky to have been invited over by a businessman in Eastbourne who is part of the community at Deadwood and spends time there with his family.
"It was a chance conversation and he very kindly asked if we wanted to come and visit for the day. Our people absolutely loved it. We booked a minibus with Eastbourne Coaches, and it really was a fun day out.
"We had a tour of the town, some of us were locked up in jail and handcuffed. We had lunch in the saloon with the locals and then painted glass bottles with lights inside. We then had a session of axe-throwing which was good fun!
"A special thanks to Dave and Mikaela Shearing for inviting us to a great place and for a very special day out."
