Objectives

CASBA provides Advocacy and Support to Adults with Learning Disabilities in South Birmingham. 

Our Vision:

A society where people with learning disabilities live as equal citizens.

Mission:

CASBA helps people with learning disabilities to get their voices heard and their rights accepted.

Our Values:

Respect – CASBA shows care and concern to all people. We will not tell you what to do. You can say what you think and make your own choices.

We work together – CASBA makes changes happen by listening to and working with our citizens. When we work with others, all our voices are stronger.  

Accessible – we understand that everyone is different. We work with people in ways and in places that are safe and easy for them.

We work with over 200 people a year empowering them to speak up for themselves, express their views, make their choices and be valued as citizens.
