Company name: sheffielddeafchildrenssociety

Description: We support deaf and hearing impaired children living in the boroughs of Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Chesterfield and the surrounding areas of South Yorkshire. We hold regular events for children of all ages ranging from babies to age 16. These include a Youth Club, Soft play, Bowling, Snowboarding, Cinema, football coaching, Theatre, Ice skating, Picnics, Christmas & Halloween parties, Easter Egg hunts and even weekends away. We provide impartial advice and information to worried parents. A lot of parents get worried when they are faced with a deaf child for the first time. Some of our volunteers are deaf and give life experiences and act as role models for the children. This gives parents the confidence to face the future. We provide a lot of leisure activities for children and try to remove barriers to access by raising awareness and suggesting common sense solutions.
