Can you imagine the daily challenges that someone faces when they have a hearing loss?
Poppy’s loss is moderate, she wears two hearing aids and uses a radio aid too. Every day activities are challenging. The acoustics at her sports lessons are unbearable, she cannot hear the teacher’s instructions at her swimming classes and watching tv is frustrating as she cannot follow subtitles, turning the tv up louder disrupts the sound. Poppy lacks confidence in making friends and talking to new people, lip reading is a struggle when she is unfamiliar with lip patterns. Children like Poppy face these challenges every day, it’s frustrating and exhausting!
Can you help us to support Deaf and hard of hearing children like Poppy?
Phoenix supports Deaf and hard of hearing children and young people by providing:
- Social and learning opportunities for children and young adults
- Opportunities for parents to participate in training and to find support
- Deaf Awareness and British Sign Language training
- Individual support to families, children and young adults
Donations are really appreciated. We rely heavily on fundraised contributions because this money is unrestricted and can be put towards wherever it is needed most (unlike money we receive for particular projects). Every penny counts! Here are some examples of what your money can go towards:
- £15 will pay for an hour’s salary for a worker to provide support to the children at holiday and weekend activities.
- £35 will pay for an hour’s salary for a British Sign Language Interpreter, providing communication support between sign language users and non - sign language users, to ensure access and inclusion.
- £100 will pay for a trainer to deliver Deaf Awareness training – this gets us out into the community teaching organisations British Sign Language and breaking down social and communication barriers.
