Stories from our families

“The support our family has received from WSDCS has helped us so much, from finding out about benefits we are entitled to, to giving Ellie the confidence to embrace her deafness.”

"At the WSDCS, my Mummy and Daddy get to meet other parents who have deaf children so they can support each other."

“I am proud to be deaf!  I don’t think I would be the person I am today if I wasn’t deaf and wearing my cochlear implants. I am very passionate about raising deaf awareness & sharing my journey with others. ”

Donate

There are lots of ways you can donate to support deaf children and their families. You can make a single donation, set up a regular monthly donation, give in celebration or leave a gift in your will.
