GDA's highlight of the past six months is without
question the magnificent Three Peak Challenge. I
will leave you to whizz to page 9 to read all about it,
but I can’t resist sharing the following social media
message that was posted by a stranger who has no
connection with our charity but who just happened to be
at the base of Snowdon when our group finally finished
perhaps the most gruelling 24 hours of their lives... “I watched this group whilst they
celebrated being at the bottom of Snowdon with their Prosecco…I have never seen such a
lovely bunch of happy people. It was amazing to watch them sign to each other and just be
full of pure happiness. I was left feeling so uplifted after watching them celebrate and thank
each other! Well done all on your achievement.” Jess Tierney
With charities under so much pressure these days from one or two bad news stories
hitting the press, it is too easy to think the only way forward is for charities to behave
more like businesses. In many ways it is true that even small charities in the 21st
century must be businesslike to survive; however I would argue that actually charities
must always nurture that very special spirit of camaraderie, compassion and patience
which sets us apart and above the business world.
There are many Three Peak Challenge stories to tell, but one stands out for me. When
the group were within yards of the third and final peak of Snowdon, exhausted beyond
words, one of the fittest participants who had been in the lead group for all of the
challenge, walked back and invited one of the people who had been struggling at the
back to come forward and lead everyone to the top. That’s the spirit of GDA. That’s
what the nice stranger at the bottom of Snowdon couldn’t help but be moved by.

3
Hi, please introduce yourself.
I'm Charlotte, I'm 19 years old and I have been
going to GDA's deaf youth club, GDYZ, for
nearly 12 years.
What are you doing now?
I'm currently studying beauty at Gloucester
College. I start my final year, doing Level 3
in September 2017.
What's been the best thing about GDYZ?
Making new friends and having a good laugh.
I've made life-long friends at GDYZ.
How has GDYZ supported you?
It's helped me gain confidence and it's been a great support
network as there hasn't been any other young people at school with hearing loss, so I've felt
a bit lost at times. I've been able to try new activities like caving, canoeing and climbing,
that I would never have had the confidence to do otherwise, because I've had my GDYZ
friends there with me.
And finally, what's the dream - what would you like to do in the future?
I'd love to be working for myself offering beauty treatments. Maybe start off as a mobile
beautician and then the big dream would be to have my own salon.
GDA is currently in the process of recruiting a new Youth Participation Leader, who
will work with young deaf people and their families to ensure more like people
Charlotte have the chance to shine.
Phase three of GDA's building redevelopment.
Thanks to a third grant instalment from Gloucestershire Environmental Trust
(GET), GDA will soon start its final stage of building refurbishment and redevelopment
at our Colin Road site in Barnwood. The forthcoming work will
include much needed repairs to the roof, to give added protection from rain and
snow and improve insulation, and external paintwork. We will also be reconfiguring
the charity office space to incorporate a new listening aid equipment clinic. We are
really excited how it will all eventually look, and hope you will bear with us during
the inevitable upheaval it will cause temporarily over the summer whilst the works
are completed. We will do everything we can to minimise disruption.

Going the Extra Mile (GEM) project
4
Congratulations to the deaf participants
who completed their hearing awareness
workshop in April. The workshop provided
an opportunity to practise with the trainees
how to use networking situations. With such
an emphasis on effective communication, this
can be particularly daunting for deaf job seeke
Under the guidance of project developer and d
role model, Reg Cobb, shortly after the worksh
participant obtained a job offer and another completed a job interview. A third
participant has gained a voluntary work placement and the fourth achieved a work
placement at a prestigious local car showroom.
The GEM Project supports individuals in Gloucestershire who, at the start of their
journey, may feel a long way from ever achieving a place in education, training,
employment or self employment, or volunteering. Using support which is personcentered
and most importantly specialist, it seeks to overcome barriers.
The GEM programme is a unique partnership of specialist community based
organisations, including GDA, which is managed by Gloucestershire Gateway Trust on
behalf of Gloucestershire County Council. The project is jointly funded by the Big
Lottery Fund and the European Social Fund. For more information, please visit
glosgem.org
Deaf Awareness Talk
At the end of May, GDA's Jenny Hopkins and Emma Jenkins gave an
'Understanding Deafness' talk to the Gloucester U3A group. More than 60 people
attended and learned some of the different ways to meet the challenges of going
deaf later in life. Many have now also made an appointment to try out our range of
listening aid and visual alert equipment. Here's what one of their members, Ann
Williams, later wrote to us: "Thank you both for such a helpful and useful day last
Friday. All of our members I've seen since then found it so useful and helpful and we're
truly grateful to you for the information with which you provided us." If you'd like to
know more about the different equipment available that could help you at home,
give us a call on 01452 372999.

Hearing aid clinics
YouChoose is an innovative peersupport
service which enables anyone
living with significant deafness to receive
support from a personal assistant who is
also deaf. It has been working highly
successfully in the Midlands and GDA is
now helping to bring it to
Gloucestershire and South
Gloucestershire. Whether you are a sign
language user, or someone who has
become deaf over time and speaks but
doesn’t hear, the only criteria is that you
feel you would benefit from the regular
companionship of someone who
understands you perfectly. Our deaf
personal assistants are all warm, kind
people who are selected on the basis
that they have more confidence to
manage everyday challenges better and
can help you do the same. That may be
to help you meet new friends, get fit or
simply enjoy shopping trips together.
For information about how YouChoose
works, please contact the GDA office.

Friendship Circle Summer Party
On Tuesday 27th June, over 70 guests came to
GDA for the Friendship Circle summer party.
This is a free event for anyone with an
acquired hearing loss; it's a chance to meet new
friends and catch up with old ones, while
enjoying a delicious lunch, which this year was
provided by Yumma Food. Our thanks to Jacky, Becky,
Lorraine, Louise and Jane from our corporate partner, Ecclesiastical, who
volunteered their time to support the event and ensure everyone was well looked
after. The Friendship Circle will return with its Christmas party on Tuesday 28th
November - hope to see you there.

CDCC (Cirencester Deaf Children's Club)
is continuing to thrive, welcoming
between 16-24 children each session.
The Easter party was great fun, we had
an Easter Egg Hunt and the craft was
chicks in baskets and painting. The
weather was lovely and all the children
went outside to find the eggs. In May we
made bracelets and necklaces with flowe
and bells to celebrate May Day, we also m
tissue paper tassels in card tubes. Again
good weather and everyone went outside to play
parachute games. I would like to thank all the volunteers and parents for all their
help in making the Club a success. Nic Hewlett, CDCC leader
Since our last newsletter in January, the Greenways Forest School has hosted a
further three fun-filled outdoor activity sessions. The gang have enjoyed getting
stuck in to, literally and figuratively, all the activities the forest offers. We don't
normally like the rain but thanks to a few wet months the Forest School has been
thriving in mud, and we all know when you're young, mud means fun! As well as
getting coated in mud, they've been learning to cook on an open fire, making forest
crafts, whittling, making dens and enjoying interactive stories,
all the while in a safe and total communication
environment. Whether a child speaks or prefers to
use sign language to communicate, they can
enjoy every part of each activity. Booking are
now being taken for the summer holidays
sessions on Tuesday 25th July, Tuesday 15th
August, Wednesday 16th August, Tuesday
29th and Wednesday 30th August.

Our Deaf Lunch Club members have
been enjoying more tasty home-cooked
meals thanks to volunteers Yvonne,
Kim and Natasha. It's continuing to
thrive as a popular club among
members, and they’re now looking
forward to their summer trip to the
Black Country Living Museum in
August. Lunch Club normally takes
place on the first Thursday of every
month, at GDA, between 11am and
2pm. The next Lunch Club meeting
after the August day trip will be on
Thursday 7th September.
Gloucester Deaf Club (GDC) have
appointed a number of new committee
members recently and the club are now
looking forward to an exciting calendar
of events coming up. GDC meets at
GDA every Saturday evening from 7pm.
They enjoy social evenings, outings as
well as the old favourite, BINGO. For
more information about GDC, text
07875 610860.
Gloucestershire Hard of Hearing clubs
have enjoyed a range of speakers and
visitors over the last few months.
Cirencester HOH club hosted a tea
party with musical entertainment by
Terry Cox and the ukulele players. After
lunch members took on some Lego
building as part of a project to build a
model of St Mary's Abbey which stood
in Cirencester 900 years ago until it was
destroyed on the orders of King Henry
VIII. The completed model will have
over 70,000 Lego bricks, of which their
small wall and window took just 250.
Thanks to Barnwood Trust for
sponsoring the Cirencester HOH club's
involvement.
There are hard of hearing clubs in
different areas of Gloucestershire and
new members are always welcome.
Anyone wishing to join is invited to
contact the GDA office on 01452 372999
or email admin@gda.org.uk to find out
more.
GDA’s lip-reading classes take a break over the summer, but you can book now for
when classes start again in September in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Cirencester.
We will also look to re-start a class in Stroud as soon as we have enough people to
make it worthwhile in terms of tutor and venue hire.
So, if you or someone you know is struggling with hearing loss and could benefit from
learning this essential life skill in a supportive atmosphere, please contact us on
01452 372999 or email admin@gda.org.uk for more information. Classes are just
£4.00 per session

On Sunday 14th May, supporters Josie and Matt
Preston took on the Tewkesbury Half Marathon
in aid of GDA. Their daughter Myla was born
deaf and has been attending Cirencester Deaf
Children's Club (CDCC).Josie said "When Myla was
six weeks old she was diagnosed as profoundly deaf,
and with no information on childhood deafness it was a
very scary time for us. It is so important for children to
connect with other deaf children; to know that they are not alone
and also for families of deaf children to connect and to be able to share their experiences
and support each other." Together they have raised £755 for GDA which is a wonderful
achievement. Huge congratulations and thank you to them both for supporting GDA.
GDA Fundraising Ambassador and Trustee, Jackie Gloyn has had another busy few
months hosting a Safari Dinner in February and a Bring & Buy Sale in May, in aid of
GDA. Together her fundraising efforts have raised over £2,200 for GDA. A massive
thank you and well done to Jackie and everyone who helped bring both events
together.
A shout out to the following groups and businesses which have recently donated
to GDA. Our sincere thanks to:
TSB Barnwood which donated £1,420 as part of our year-long charity
partnership with them.
Red Apple Garage which continues to support GDA through money tins in
their shop in Cheltenham.
Cotteswold Masonic Lodge which donated £600 towards lip-reading classes
and Cirencester Deaf Children's Club (CDCC).
Gloucester Round Table which donated £500.
Unite Gloucester which donated £300.
Gloucestershire Independent Network (GIN) which donated £300 towards
GDA's Three Peak Challenge.
Zetland Masonic Lodge of Instruction which donated £250.
Gloucester Masonic Charity Association which donated £2,000

Our team of seventeen brave souls set of for Scotla
on Friday 19th May, ready to start our epic Three
Peak Challenge in aid of GDA. The weather
forecast for the weekend was looking, well, wet
across all three mountains, but that didn't
dampen any spirits.
9
We started our challenge on the morning of the
20th May, with the imposing Ben Nevis; the first an
toughest peak we were going to tackle. Despite star
off in the rain, the cloud lifted and revealed stunning scenery
as we ascended higher, although by the summit was snowing! The foot-deep snow at
the top was a bit of a treat, as well as challenging to walk through, but it provided
much entertainment on the way down! Top tip- the quickest way to get down a
mountain; slide on your bottom on the snow!
With the tallest mountain successfully climbed, it was a quick turn-around to set off
on a seven-hour coach drive down to Yorkshire to attempt Scafell Pike - in the dark.
The very uneven and rocky terrain under foot made it particularly tricky, and the
strong winds at the summit made it even more precarious. Coming down the
mountain brought its own challenges too, with steep slippy rocks to contend with.
There were a few falls at this point but nothing was going to stop us from finishing.
And finish it we did, ready to move onto the final mountain; Snowdon in Wales.
We'd been promised a slightly 'easier' mountain with Snowdon. We'd take the
steeper and 'quicker' Pyg track up and come down the Miners track, the longer but
more gradual of the two. The earlier rain had made the rocks slippy and tricky to
navigate. Steep rocky steps and low energy levels, made the final ascent the hardest
part yet. We arrived at the summit of Snowdon in the same way we had reached the
previous two summits, with thick cloud blocking any view. But, we had done it! We
had climbed all three mountains in 24 hours!!
With knees, feet and legs really beginning to ache and energy levels completely
zapped, we hobbled down the Railway Track; a longer route but it meant not having
to negotiate our way back down the rocks we'd already suffered going up. Not the
route we'd expected to take but much more sensible given the state our bodies were
in at that point! All seventeen of us made it to our finish point in Llanberis where we

The
bubbles were popped open and our celebrations began. We'd completed our
challenge! It was tough; the toughest thing any of us had ever done. It pushed us to
our limited and at some points, it broke us, but we always, always smiled.

Our team was a mix of all ages; men and women, all abilities, and of deaf and hearing
people. We proved that whatever you feel your limitations are, when you are with
team mates who will share, support and laugh through the challenge with you, you
can do anything you set your mind to. I am so proud of what we achieved; not just
over the weekend but over the last seven months preparing for this challenge.
Together we have raised an incredible £13,291.59, making this GDA's BIGGEST
fundraiser EVER! Thank you to everyone who supported our challenge along the way.
