Hi there just wondering if there are any face to face events planned soon. I am desperate for my 10 month old to meet other children with hearing loss. 

look forward to meeting other families and creating a network of support to help our children with their identity

Hi there, 

My daughter is only 12 weeks old but is profoundly deaf in both ears. We also live in Nottingham and are keen to meet other babies/parents in the local area! 

We're based in Radcliffe on Trent!

Hi mummyj and zar_105

Thank you for starting this thread. I am sorry that you have not had any suggestions yet. Your Community is still relatively new and we are still building up our members. It may be we do not have many members in your area yet. 

My son started attending activities arranged by a deaf society and teachers of the deaf when he was a toddler years ago.  It was a great opportunity for us to meet other deaf children and their families to share our experience and support each other.

There is a Nottinghamshire Deaf Children's Society and you can find their details here: http://www.nottsdcs.org/.

You could also check with your child's Teacher of the Deaf if there is one as they may be able to recommend local parent-toddler groups where you could meet other parents of deaf children. Many of these are still running online at the moment.

And there are also our online family events, including informal coffee mornings, information sessions.  You can find upcoming online baby and toddler sessions here: https://www.ndcs.org.uk/our-services/our-events/events-for-parents-carers-and-families/baby-and-toddler-sessions/

We hope this is useful and do feel free to contact us if you have any questions - [email protected]

Take care!
