Following a successful first year HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have confirmed they will continue to fund part of SAFSS Liaison and Outreach Service until 2011.
The HMRC funded project provides information and guidance to help South Asian families who has a child with a disability apply for specific HMRC products. The project focuses on promoting 3 key products – Tax Credits, Child Trust Funds and Child Benefit.
This project achieves the HMRC strategic outcome 1 – To deliver key messages to hard to reach groups, resulting in an increased take-up of HMRC products.
If you are a parent of a South Asian child or children who has a disability please contact Usha Ghai or Neelam Pallen on (0121) 558 2198 and they will complete a benefits assessment to see if SAFSS can help.

As part of our continual development of services we are pleased to offer therapeutic massage as part of our domiciliary care service to South Asian children and young people who have a disability or life limiting condition.
All our staff are qualified to a minimum of NVQ level 2 in Care and have received training in therapeutic massage from a trained physiotherapist at the Orchards School, Oldbury. Our staff are trained on a one-to-one basis and are taught skills and techniques appropriate for each individual child. Staff continue to work closely with a child’s physiotherapist to ensure that the therapeutic massage is in line with the child’s needs and disability.
For further information on therapeutic massage and our domiciliary care service please contact Hardeep Sandhu on (0121) 558 2198 childrens.safss@btconnect.com
SAFSS are pleased to announce that our day trip for 2009 will be to Legoland, Windsor. The trip for South Asian children, young people and adults who have a disability or life limiting condition, their parents, carers and guardians will take place on Thursday 30 July.
Every year SAFSS raises vital funds to support our day trip which costs in the region of £5,000. Last year our trip to Drayton Manor Park was funded by the proceeds of our 21st Anniversary Event and over 200 children, young people and adults with disabilities and their families were supported. A big thank you to all our sponsors, supporters and everyone who helped raise the grand sum of £4,500 and made the 21st Anniversary Event the huge success it was.
Further details will follow on this website regarding the day trip. If you have any questions in the meantime please contact Amar on (0121) 558 2198 admin.safss@btconnect.com
