Sad News

Derby CAS is very sad to let you know that our President, Ted Cassidy, has died on January 8th 2021

It was Ted who set up and delivered the Community Accountancy Service in Derby between 1991 and 1997

The reputation he gained for our service was vital when we became an independent charity in 2002.

Ted continued to support us in the role as our independent examiner until 2018.

All those in the voluntary sector who remember Ted were as saddened as we were by the news.  They all spoke of their gratitude to Ted for all his help, and remember his great kindness. 

Not only was Ted a great accountant and a great businessman, he was, more importantly, a person who cared for others and did so much to help so many people.

We send our sincere condolences to his wife Una and all the family.  RIP Ted

Some Good News

In all the sadness and gloom it is good to report some really good news.  Sophie Shields has passed her final accountancy examinations!

Sophie joined us as a volunteer in 2014 to gain work experience.  After leaving us, Sophie found employment in the voluntary sector and started taking the qualifications to become a Chartered Certified Accountant, but still found time to come back to help out at Derby CAS!

Many congratulations to Sophie!!
