Get involved
SHASBAH has an active and thriving community in the Sheffield area. Our members, friends and volunteers provide all types of support in the ups and downs of living with lifelong conditions. The aim we all share is to help everyone with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus get the most out of life.
Whether you are living with Spina Bifida or Hydrocephalus, you care for someone with the conditions or you simply believe in our mission, there’s a place in SHASBAH for you!
