REMEMBERING CASBA IN YOUR WILL
|
CASBA can tackle isolation and discrimination to help people with Learning Disabilities get their voices heard and their rights respected.
Including the gift of independence and self confidence in your will is a wonderful way for you to help future generations transform their lives. |

CASBA's mission is simple
We won’t stop until we have a society where people with Learning Disabilities are able to live as equal citizens, playing a meaningful and active role in their communities. You can help create this future with a gift in your will. The citizens we work with are the most important people at CASBA. We ensure that they are instrumental in guiding our charity and making sure we are tackling the issues they know to be a problem for their community. Supporting this work in your will means you will be giving them the opportunity to unlock their potential. Currently, only 6% of citizens with a Learning Disability are in paid employment. We know how capable many of them are through seeing them getting involved in decision-making, running events, delivering training, and supporting their peers. By adding a gift in your will, you can help us to change perceptions among local employers and help our citizens find opportunities. |
The impact your future gift can have
At CASBA, we are grateful for every gift we receive from wonderful supporters like you. Without our advocates’ support, our citizens rights are in danger.
People like Rosie need you to leave a gift. A social worker almost persuaded her to sign papers that she couldn’t read just after giving birth to her baby. Fortunately, our advocate told her what her rights were before this happened and she took control.
Your gift will help women like Rosie assert their rights to be parents.

People like Sarah need you to leave a gift. Her daughter was being bullied in primary school and started self-harming. Sarah could not understand the paperwork to get educational support. With our help, she managed to get her daughter a place at a special school where she is thriving.
Your gift will help families like Sarah’s to fight for their rights to the correct support.

Beyond our planned projects, we were able to respond quickly when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down many services in March 2020. Between our staff and volunteers, we made over 400 phone calls to ensure that our citizens were safe, and their needs were being met. We provided support through video calls, WhatsApp groups and our Facebook page, as well as delivering food parcels, medication, and Easy Read information about the rules. We even provided ways to help stave off the boredom, such as DVDs, colouring sheets, and jigsaws, as well as running online bingo sessions.
Not having our peer support groups running in person was a huge loss over the last year. As one of our participants explained:
“It was the one time in the week when I could just be myself and talk to other people who experience the same things as me!”
We understood this, so we did everything we could to equip our citizens with the skills to be able to communicate with each other remotely. You gift can help ensure that there will always be a place for our citizens to share skills, solve each other’s problems and boost each other’s confidence in a better future.
