Talent Within You is a club for teenagers aged 13 to 16, living in and around Worthing.

Vicky said: “Steve and his budding Brinsbury College teams have won an array of medals over the years at the Ideal Home exhibition, Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court show. Steve will be leading the planting for this workshop, which will be in Beach House Grounds.

“Lauren is a 23-year-old professional wheelchair tennis player in training for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games and inspirational speaker.

“In 2009, at the age of 13, Lauren fell from a tree and broke her back, which left her paralysed from the waist down and unable to walk. Fast forward to today and she is one of Britain’s most influential people with a disability, a successful wheelchair tennis player who has achieved career high rankings of 25 in the world, 3 in Britain and junior world number one.
