"Together we can be a stronger voice for service users in Worcestershire"

     
   

WASU aims to break down the barriers which stop people remaining in control of their own lives and to change people’s ways of thinking about and working with people who use services

We believe that people of all ages and abilities have the right to the support and services they require to enable them to participate fully in their communities

WASU welcomes new members

Together we can be a stronger voice for service users in Worcestershire..
