National Deaf Children's Society Community Grants

The National Deaf Children's Society community grant is an initiative offering between £1,000 to £10,000 to UK groups supporting deaf children and their families. The aim of the grants programme is to build communities that unite families of deaf children. For parents with a deaf child, having a strong community is vital, particularly during those first few years when families are still finding out what their child needs. For this funding cycle, the programme is focusing on projects that support deaf children in the early years (aged 0-5). This can be directly or indirectly, and projects can also involve older deaf children, deaf young people, families and professionals. This is a rolling programme, which means applicants can apply at any time throughout the year with set assessment dates. The grants aim to help young deaf children develop their language, communication and social skills through community-based support.
