Ted Cassidy Memorial Award Winners

Sadly, Derby Community Accountancy Service lost our Honorary President, Ted Cassidy, in January 2021.

In memory of Ted, and to celebrate the great contribution he made to DCAS and our service users, it was decided to reward a local charity for playing their part in bettering the lives of the people of Derby.

We are pleased to announce that the winners of the Ted Cassidy Memorial Award 2021 for the outstanding contribution given by a charity to life in Derby, goes to Derby Refugee Forum.

Ferid Kevric is pictured here receiving the certificate on their behalf at our AGM last month. They also received a cheque from Mrs Una Cassidy.

Many congratulations to Derby Refugee Forum!

Ted Cassidy

Ted Cassidy started up CAS here in Derby in 1991, and he worked as Community Accountant until he retired in 1997.

Since then he has continued his links with DCAS in the background, acting as our Independent Examiner, and continuing to offer great support to the service whenever it has been needed.

Ted has now announced his retirement from this role, and we wish both him and his wife Una a long and happy retirement.

In recognition of the important roles that Ted has held in support of DCAS, supported by Una, the Trustees have announced that they intend to appointed them Honorary Presidents of Derby Community Accountancy Service.
