C.A.S.A. is..
...a non-profit company limited by guarantee established in 2002 to provide community-based mediation, advocacy, information & advice, guidance service to individuals who face a variety of barriers to accessing mainstream services.
C.A.S.A. aims to.....

C.A.S.A. achieves these aims by...
...adopting a holistic approach to each individual and their specific circumstances - rather than providing a solution to the presented problem, we assist people to take positive steps to overcome their issues, and consequently to manage entrenched causes of deprivation.
..working in partnership with grass roots community groups and resources to provide accessible environments for individuals with needs to receive the support they require to address their issues.
C.A.S.A. impacts on communities by...
...empowering people living in Birmingham to take responsibility for dealing with their own problems, to take action to address potentially damaging situations through an understanding of their ability to bring about change, and to improve their situation through self-help strategies.
...raising the aspirations and confidence of individuals within disadvantaged communities to take positive action to change their way of life and to better it, rather than regarding their situation with a 'victim' mindset.
