Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see, wrote Mark Twain, and 40 years after his death that kindness was epitomised by the founding of The National Deaf Children?s Society (NDCS).
From its early origins to present day, the NDCS remains a parents? organisation with a focus on realising a world where obstacles to achievements of deaf children are eliminated. By challenging conventions and cooperating with similar organisations, the NDCS is driven to attain their goal.
Through the NDCS website and other publications, information and support is provided free to families with deaf children, while a range of activities and educational materials are made available with NDCS discount vouchers.
As a leading charity for deaf children, the NDCS relies on funding, with 95 per cent of that support coming from the public. Regular donations and profiled events, even when registration costs are reduced with a NDCS discount voucher, all help fund the vital helpline, support services and network of trained support workers.
Many other methods of support for the NDCS are available, including campaigning for increased awareness and giving priority to deaf children, especially those suffering poverty. Volunteering at NDCS events or lending a hand at their offices are also great ways to have a positive effect on the lives of deaf children and their families.
Visit the NDCS website for comprehensive information on how to become involved in this most worthy of causes. A discount code from NDCS will no doubt encourage you to register for as many fund raising events as possible.
