Young People
We recognise that growing up in a hearing world can be challenging for Deaf children. Our programme of events and services have been developed with your child in mind; improving communication, building friendships, increasing access and supporting the development of skills.
Activities
We organise activities specifically designed for young Deaf people and their families. We also organise access to communication support at mainstream activities. Take a look at our upcoming activities.
