How you can
support us
With your support we can continue our work in helping
young deaf children learn to listen and talk so they
can communicate effectively for the rest of their lives
Why we need your help
We are the UK’s largest single provider of preschool education services for young deaf children, yet we receive no statutory grants from central or local government.
Our experienced and qualified team start deaf children on the path to effective communication throughout the rest of their lives.
To ensure the widest possible access to our services, we use income from donations and fundraising activities to subsidise our nursery fees – we ask parents to contribute less than one-fifth of the actual cost of each child’s place.
Make a donation
You can make a one-off or regular donation quickly and easily using our secure online form.
Take part in a

Our events and challenges range from quiz nights, golf days, fayres and bazaars, to walks, runs, abseils, sky-dives and more.
