As we gather our thoughts and emotions following the referendum, we wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout this journey.

While we are disappointed with the result it is important to remember our efforts have not been in vain. We believe every step we take in this journey brings us closer to a more inclusive and just society.

In light of this, CASSE will recognise a week of silence. This moment will be for us to pause, and to mourn the missed opportunity for true reconciliation.

We understand sometimes, during moments of reflection, there may be need to talk and share. I want to reassure all our friends that we remain committed to being here for you. If you or anyone feel the need to speak to someone at CASSE during this week of silence or beyond please reach out. Our doors, whether physical or virtual are always open to you.

Together we will continue to work towards a brighter future where every voice is acknowledged and respected

Thank you again for your support.

The CASSE Team ❤️💛🖤
