Corona Virus and Our Work
CASBA works with a lot of vulnerable people. We must always put their safety first. For that reason, we have decided to stop all group work, home visits and cancel all appointments in the office. Our staff are working from home. One person is coming in to check the answer phone each week. We will continue to look at the advice on how long such measures should remain in place and keep everyone updated when this changes. We are still taking referrals. Please use the form on this website. Below is are some useful easy read documents about self isolating, shielding and the government's latest advice. Please share it with anyone who might benefit from the advice.

We are delighted to have been chosen to benefit from the Co-op Local Community Fund. When a member buys selected products or services from the Co-op they earn a five per cent reward for themselves, with a further one per cent for local causes like ours. Co-op members can choose a cause by going online www.coop.co.uk/membership. We really hope that people will visit the website and choose to support us. If you’re not a member and would like to support us, you can join at your local store or online at www.coop.co.uk. CASBA's latest Freedom Programme course suspended
Our powerful Freedom Programme course about domestic abuse and keeping yourself safe has had a big impact on those taking part and brought them together to share experiences. We are sorry to say that Alyson and Jo have had to suspend the course due to the Corona Virus outbreak until further notice.
CASBA publishing Learning Disability History on Education is Special Project website
Our National Lottery Heritage Fund supported Education is Special project has its own website to handle the large number of stories we have collected. There is already quite a lot on there, but it will expand even more as the project progresses so that we can share everything we learn. Please have a look at: www.educationisspecial.co.uk Take this short quiz for our Education is Special project
One of the key tasks in a heritage project about Learning Disabilities is to see what people already know about the subject and how you can add to that knowledge with your research. So, for our Education is special project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are asking people to take this short quiz to see how much they know. It should only take about 2 minutes to complete and we hope it'll be fun and interesting. Find out more about the project here. | |||||||||||
