Welcome to CASBA
Volunteer Week
CASBA volunteers held one of their quarterly feedback sessions, which coincided with volunteer week. Many thanks must go to our volunteers who have shown fantastic commitment throughout the last few years and give so much to CASBA supporting our service users and staff in so many different way.
When asked about there perceptions of volunteering they replied.
“Being a volunteer isn't voluntary, it is a commitment you make”
“We enjoy volunteering so much by being involved and giving”
Also congratulations to Megan for getting a first for her completed work placement module at Uni!

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. |
Welcome to Debbie
CASBA today welcomes our new Executive Manager, Debbie Powell. All of the staff team are very much looking forward to working with her. Debbie has nearly 20 years of experience working in advocacy and on taking this new role said: "I am really excited to be here and am looking forward to getting to know everyone. This is a great opportunity to support CASBA on the next stage of their journey and make a real difference to the lives of people in South Birmingham." CASBA's first Freedom Project course
Eight women completed CASBA's first Freedom Project course this spring and the feedback about it has been great. "I feel like me again", "This has really boosted my confidence" and "All women should do this course" are just a few of the comments we've had from participants. We'll be running our specially adapted version for women with Learning Disabilities again later this year, so if you'd like to join, contact Jo or Debbie. You can find details of the other training courses we run here. |
