Want to try something new? Make some new friends?
Our events are a great way to make new friends, learn new skills and have lots of fun!
We have loads of different events throughout the year in different parts of the UK. From adventure themed events, doing rock climbing and skiing. Or learning a new skill like dance, graffiti or circus skills! And don’t worry if you’ve never done the activities before, we’ll show you how!
Find out more here about how you can get involved in events and how you can get involved in fundraising too!
Would you like to find out about important issues that affect you? Are you keen to share your views and influence people who make important decisions?
Join our Young Campaigners Network and help us break down barriers for deaf young people!
As a Young Campaigner, you’ll have a chance to share your opinions and take action on issues that matter to you. This could involve contacting politicians to get their support, creating blogs to raise awareness or sharing your views and experiences to influence decision makers.
You’ll also receive our Campaign Bitesize magazine, which shares information about different campaigns you can get involved in.
Watch this video blog by former Young People’s Advisory Board (YAB) member Liam, to find out what campaigning means to him, why he thinks it’s important to share your views with politicians and how you can contact your own MP.
Watch this film to find out what some of our former YAB members think the UK Government should change for deaf young people.
