Caba is the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Association. It was set up in 1886 as a sort of safety net for ailing ICAEW chartered accountants and their families. But it also helps students and former members, as well as orphaned dependant children. So this year marks their 125th anniversary.

The work Caba does is phenomenal. Their website contains many case studies of people they have been able to help thanks to the generous charitable donations of former and current chartered accountants.

To celebrate the anniversary, Caba is calling on all chartered accountants to take a bit of time on 12 May (12/5, geddit?) to think about their work-life balance and to make some time in their busy schedules to relax. You may also wish to take some time on 12 May to donate to Caba and the work that they do.
