Upcoming Events

Our events are all about bringing people together. Whether it’s a craft session, a social get-together, or an accessible day out, every activity is designed to help you connect with others who understand life with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus.

Everyone is welcome — members, families, carers and friends. Come along, have fun, share experiences and feel part of a supportive community across North & West Yorkshire.

All events are free or low-cost to attend thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Postcode Lottery.

All our events are FREE for NWY ASBAH members, including siblings, parents and carers. To make the best use of the funding available, we ask that enough people book on so sessions can go ahead as planned.
