About
We bring together families living with deafness through organised children's activities and family sessions. We encourage all of the family to become involved in our activities and welcome deaf parents and their children, hearing parents, their deaf children and siblings, children's friends, grandparents, relatives, carers and family friends. We provide a range of fun activities and learning opportunities for the children. Our sessions are designed to include and engage all the children attending whatever their level of hearing and whether they use hearing aids, have cochlear implants or sign.
British Sign Language (BSL) communication is always available from an interpreter, Communication Support Worker, volunteer or member of staff. We also create regular opportunities for parents and relatives to come together with other families so they can meet those in a similar situation and benefit from their support, knowledge and experience. With FCDC staff and trustees, and other professionals on hand, families can get a fuller picture of the choices available to them and their children and understand the practicalities of those choices.
