Community Access Service

CAS provides meaningful opportunities for residents to make friends, increase inclusion, stay healthy and make informed choices, learn new skills and reduce the risk of isolation. We work closely with residents to identify a wide range of activities and opportunities, via our advocacy group `Our Voice, Our Say’, which supports CAS to develop our monthly activity planner and newsletter.

We integrate residents into the local and London-wide community by enhancing residents independent living skills through a range of projects, as well as creating new experiences for individuals to explore.  We do this by developing a range of fun and interactive programme every month and deliver it with our external partners, which we run during the day, evening and at weekends.

Our monthly programme of activities (or CAS planner) includes community based drop-in sessions, sports and fitness activities, cinema visits, meals out and visits to places of interest.

CAS is based in the community mostly but we have set meeting points and a few locations we regularly attend.

To be eligible for the service you need to:

• be aged 18 or over

• have a learning disability or ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition) and live within the London Borough of Hounslow

• be aiming to increase and show a commitment to developing independence within community settings (if you need 1-1 support, a PA will need to be arranged).

• be willing to interact positively with other residents accessing services.

• be willing and able to travel using public transport.

• be known to a professional who is able to provide information on your disability.
