North & West Yorkshire Association for Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus (NWY ASBAH)
Reg. Charity Number 252129
The North &
West Yorkshire Association for Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus (NWY ASBAH) is a registered charity supporting children, adults
and families with hydrocephalus and or spina bifida in North & West Yorkshire.
By supporting,
informing, and campaigning the Association is continuing to help promote individual choice, control, and quality of life for
all the people who use our services.
We are affiliated with the National Association for Spina Bifida and
Hydrocephalus (ASBAH), but we are a charity in our own right with our own charity number and we have to raise our own funds
for our work. We have very recently expanded our area to include areas where unfortuantly the local associations were unable
to go on due to lack of support and/or funding.
We are commited to helping and supporting all our service users. We
originally started out as the Leeds Association in 1966 primarily as a parent organisation and we became a registered charity
in 1967. Currently we have a membership of over 500, including in excess of 350 disabled members.
We maintain very close links with the national ASBAH, in fact the
Northern Regional office of ASBAH very kindly let us use some of their office space.
We believe that everyone with spina bifida or hydrocephalus
has the ability to get the most out of life
We are committed to supporting our service users in North & West Yorkshire.
