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.

All our trustees are living with deafness, making us a truly user led organisation in touch with the needs of the families we engage with.

We provide deaf awareness training to schools, voluntary organisations and employers as well as BSL workshops, conversation sessions and formal BSL training for families leading to Level 1 certification.

We have 140 families registered with us across the old Avon area, and 40 from further afield.
