Clubs

(See Phab Clubs with their own Web site ..)

There are two ways of thinking about people with disabilities – we can focus on the disability or we can focus on the people, Phab prefers to focus on the people.

Since 1957 when the first club was created, Phab has supported a network of clubs across the UK run by members for the members. Each organises its own activities.

There are two awards for which you may make nominations.

The Paul Hope Award , created in 1999 recognises the late Paul Hope’s immense contribution to Phab over many years as Director of Club Services and Training. The award is in the form of a specially commissioned Caithness Glass trophy and bursary of £1000 and will be presented to a person(s) in recognition of outstanding work or achievement in fulfilling the Phab aim.

The Louis Goldberg Award , presented in memory of the late Louis Goldberg, for many years a devoted supporter of Phab. This award was created especially to recognise the very same qualities but for a young person up to the age of 25 and carries a bursary of £250.
