ASBAH is here to offer its services to the whole spectrum of those affected by, or with an interest in, hydrocephalus or spina bifida – from before birth (with advice and support, whether or not the pregnancy continues), during childhood and right through adult life.
ASBAHs work is financed by voluntary donations, trading activities and grants from charitable and corporate trusts. They deeply appreciate the goodwill and generosity of the many individuals, community groups and companies who make it possible for them to work as a centre of excellence in their field.
ASBAH work in partnership with a network of independent affiliated Local Associations to share information and promote good practice, and also to deliver a range of high-quality support and specialist services.
ASBAH employs a network of advisers throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland who deliver advice, support and advocacy services. |
