"NDCS" facts

NDCS Challenges

Three babies are born deaf in the UK every day and 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents with little experience of deafness.

Deafness makes it harder for children to learn to communicate and many families will face challenges in establishing good communication with their deaf child.

We work to do this by:

  • Offering clear, balanced information and support to families
  • Advocating for deaf children, young people and their families
  • Providing opportunities for young deaf people to develop social skills, confidence and independence
  • Working with professionals and policy makers to ensure high quality services are available for all
  • Campaigning and lobbying on behalf of deaf children, young people and their families

NDCS Challenges

The UK's number 1 for charity challenge events!

The NDCS vision is of a future without barriers for every deaf child.

The sponsorship money raised from these challenges will directly support the work of the National Deaf Children’s Society. NDCS is the only UK charity solely dedicated to the support of all deaf children and young people, their families and professionals working with them.
