This December, I'm taking on the National Deaf Children's Society's Festive Fingerspellathon - learning to fingerspell so every deaf child feels included, while raising vital funds to support families across the UK.

Together we can help support deaf children and their families. Please donate generously and make a real difference today.

£29 could pay for one-to-one support that will help a family challenge a decision about their vital disability benefits and secure the support they need.

£44 could provide an online session from an advice and guidance officer – empowering parents to make sure their deaf child gets the right support at school.

£108 could answer 18 calls to our Helpline from parents who have just found out their child is deaf, reassuring them they’re not alone.
