ABOUT FCDc

We bring together families living with deafness through organised children’s activities and family sessions.

 

We welcome all deaf children, their siblings, parents and grandparents, together with deaf adults and their children whether hearing or deaf. Extended family and family friends are also welcomed to many events.

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 staff, volunteers and/or interpreters.

At every family event there is an opportunity for parents and carers to come together with other families so they can meet those in a similar situation and benefit from their knowledge, experience and support. This will allow them to get a fuller picture of the choices available to them and their children, and understand the practicalities of these options.
