That means, whatever you can give, no matter the size, every donation will make double the difference in supporting adults with learning disabilities to learn how to self-advocate and change society.
People with learning disabilities are one of the four most disadvantaged groups in all of society. They are often financially excluded, socially marginalised, discriminated against, experiencing the widest health inequality of any group, and now struggling to deal with the worst cost of living crisis in recent memory.
They face complex and longstanding problems, which require a holistic approach to solving them. Without an advocate who will help them, their problems can seem insurmountable. CASBA's advocates ensure people with a learning disability understand their options, have their voice listened to when they express their opinions, and know their rights.
But CASBA can't do it alone, with the public's support and donations, CASBA can recruit and train more advocates and make an even bigger impact.
Some adults with learning disabilities share the difference CASBA Advocacy has made in their lives;
"CASBA helped me stand up for my right to education" says B, who was able to complete his studies with CASBA’s advocacy support.
At CASBA Advocacy's Self-Advocate group "We talk about things that affect our lives” says young self-advocate M.
"Before CASBA I wouldn't talk to anyone, now I want to tell people what is possible with CASBA Advocacy's help” says J.
