FAMILY CENTRE (DEAF CHILDREN)

Welcome to Family Centre (Deaf Children)

We are a small registered charity based in Bristol that is led by service users.

We were established in November 1995 after research carried out by the Deaf Studies Trust, University of Bristol Centre for Deaf Studies and othe local organisations into language development and communication at home.

We provide family support, resources, courses and activities for all children with any level of hearing loss and their families.

Our management committee consists of voluntary parents or families of deaf children and deaf people.

The Family Centre Office is based in Elmfield Primary School in Bristol.  We are independent of the school and have 4 people working part time in the office.

The Family Centre works in the main with deaf children and their families in the Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath, North Somerset and North East Somerset areas. Visiting families from out of these areas are welcome at activities and events.
