Story

 In 2019, GDA turns 100 years old and as part of our upcoming celebrations we are looking for 100 people to take on a challenge.

It can be any challenge you want - cook, make something, cycle, swim, jump out of a plane, host an event, run, climb, bake. Absolutely anything - it's up to you. 

And to make the whole occasion even more exciting, we are delighted to announce that a very kind donor has offered to match the first £100 that each of the 100 participants raise, meaning GDA could benefit from an extra £10,000, which will go a long way towards supporting the 32 different services and social activities GDA provides to thousands of deaf and hard of hearing children, young people and adults in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire! So, all we ask is that each person raises a minimum of £100 for GDA, of course you are welcome to raise more if you can. And in return, we will support you through your challenge and each of our 100 participants will receive:

  • a special anniversary top
  • fundraising ideas and support
  • fundraising tools
  • a chance to be part of GDA's special 100th celebrations in 2019

Are you up for joining our team and helping to make this our biggest fundraising year EVER? If you'd like to take on a challenge, or perhaps you'd like to start by discussing a challenge idea, drop us a line on 01452 372999 or email 100challenges@gda.org.uk and we can help you kick-start your challenge adventure.  

About the charity

GDA offers practical and emotional support to children and adults living in Gloucestershire, who have been born deaf and are British Sign Lanuage (BSL) users, and those who have become deaf through illness or age.
