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.

Head over to Milkeshake! and you’ll see ‘Hearing Test’, a new episode of Peppa Pig where George Pig is revealed to have moderate hearing loss in one ear and is fitted with his first hearing aid.
We’re proud to have worked with Hasbro on the development of this storyline, which we know will have such a significant impact for deaf children across the country and beyond.
If you watch this episode and are concerned about your child’s hearing, get in touch with our Helpline where our expert advisors can support you. https://go.ndcs.org.uk/georgepigelsifb

If you have a spare minute today, we would be so incredibly grateful for your support.
We have the opportunity to be nominated for a ticket bundle for the Drumshalloch Easter Egg Trail, and being in with a chance of winning would mean so much to the children and families we support. 🐣💛
Those special outings create memories, build friendships, and give our deaf children the chance to simply enjoy being kids together.
If you’re able to nominate Grampian Deaf Children’s Society, it truly would make a difference.
Thank you for always standing beside us, cheering us on, and helping our community thrive. We couldn’t do what we do without you. 💛
With heartfelt thanks,
