Our Ambassadors

Our Ambassadors Group are important for everything we do at CASBA.

They are CASBA’s experts by experience. They all have learning disabilities.

Our Ambassadors represent and advocate for people with learning disabilities in South Birmingham.

The group meets every two weeks to talk about the activities they are doing.

Our Ambassadors volunteer for CASBA. Here are some examples of things they help with:

Attending meetings at CASBA to help decide on our strategy

Attending steering group meetings for projects

Making videos for awareness raising campaigns

Helping us to write and present training courses

Organising fundraising events

Attending external events, such as festivals, open days and talks

Giving feedback on easy read documents we produce
The chair of our Ambassadors group, Martyn Spooner, is also a Trustee and sits on the CASBA Management Committee.
He reports back to the group after each meeting. He was recently joined by Janet, who has also joined the board of Trustees.
