TAB is designed for adults aged 25 and over who have learning disabilities or who are autistic. Our aim is to help them to find the right support and services in Buckinghamshire.
Whether it’s financial advice, accessing medical services or navigating public transport, our team listens to the challenges people are facing and helps them find the information they need.
Over the last year, TAB has dealt with 85 enquiries, helping these people access the information they need. These were sometimes seemingly small issues, but being able to talk these through in a safe space made a world of difference to those we supported. This service has given many people the knowledge and skills to live more independently.
We have also begun the creation of our Talkback Advice Bureau website, collating all the information autistic individuals and people with learning disabilities and their parents or carers might need.
This money provided by the Heart of Bucks will help us to continue the valuable work TAB does in the community.
You can find TAB every week on a Monday (except Bank Holidays) in High Wycombe, 2-4pm at the Front Room Café. Just pop in to see us or visit our website for more information.
