About Us
History
IWASBAH was set up in July 1969. We are an island-based group who can help answer your questions about Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.
We are not medically qualified. Through our membership we do know what it is like to live with these conditions, or to be parents of someone with the conditions.
Our Trustees are all volunteers and charity objectives can be viewed via this link.
