Welcome to the

Grampian Deaf Children's Society

We are working to support deaf children, young people and their families across Aberdeen, Grampian and the North East of Scotland.

 ✏️ Check out what's coming up below and if something appeals - please indicate your interest by filling in the form for that event! 

We also encourage you to take some time to browse our site to find out more about us, and to check out some potentially useful resources too.

Also, if you would like to get to know us better, you can apply to join our private Facebook group which serves as a community for advice, support, and information sharing.

We are super excited for the possibilities for the year ahead! As a charity, we have the remainder of a grant received from the National Deaf Children's Society for use in 2026 to provide BSL classes for preschool children and their families. The charity will make plans for these classes in early 2026.

If you have ideas or are interested in attending, please send us a message - you can do this on the Connect with Us page.

We are also thrilled that right now you can:

Yesterday was Mothers Day and we want to take a moment to recognise and celebrate all the incredible mums in our community. 💜
Being a mum comes with so many roles – advocate, teacher, comforter, cheerleader, problem-solver, and so much more. For mums of deaf children, that journey can bring extra challenges, but it is also filled with remarkable strength, patience, and love.
Every day you show up for your children in ways both big and small — learning, adapting, encouraging, and helping them grow with confidence in who they are. Your dedication, resilience, and care make a lasting difference in your children’s lives.
From all of us at Grampian Deaf Children’s Society, thank you for everything you do. Your love and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are proud to have you as part of our community.
This is a special shout out to all the wonderful mums and mother figures who support and uplift deaf children every single day. 🌸
