CDCC plays a very important role in the work of Gloucestershire Deaf Association (GDA), which is the only not-for-profit organisation in our county dedicated solely to supporting adults and children with all levels of hearing impairment. I am delighted to tell you that in recent years the work we do has been recognised both at local and national level, including in 2016 an award for ‘Best Campaign Film’ (Stroud Community TV Awards), and being shortlisted for a national Charity Governance Award. GDA’s work around families where there is a deaf child centres around the CDCC sessions held on the first Saturday of each month, where your child can enjoy a range of craft activities and outings in a truly supportive atmosphere. As a user-led organisation, our experienced and wonderful volunteers understand fully the communication challenges your child may be experiencing at home, at school and just out and about, and we are here to help in a no-pressure way but with our personal knowledge and expertise. Above all, CDCC is about having fun, but you will see the difference from any ordinary playgroup. To begin with we use a total communication environment of both speaking and sign language, so that you and your child can choose whichever way you want to develop your language with each other, but develop it as successfully as possible. We also are mindful that your child will rely more on visual cues and may have a greater need to feel safe in their personal space, perhaps sitting or standing where others cannot surprise them from behind. You and your child will feel a warmth of spirit at CDCC that I hope gives you a sense of the support that GDA is willing to give you for many years to come, as your child grows and takes on new challenges. We forward to getting to know you and to sharing that journey with you. Jenny and Gem GDA is a Registered charity no. 1015937.

I set up CDCC back in 2011 when I noticed that Deaf children in the area needed support locally. Up till 2015 I was a trustee of GDA and now proudly hold the title of GDA Ambassador. I used to run a playgroup many many years ago - I am now a grandmother, and still love children. I have severe hearing loss and in 2012 I had a cochle implant fitted. , I'm Kim Fletcher. I am profoundly Deaf from birth. From age of three I went to for the Deaf in Exeter and then at six my parents moved to Gloucestershire and I went into mainstream schooling. I did struggle with my education, but at 16 I went back to Exeter for further education and discovered BSL. I am a mum of three and all my children are hearing. I am married to Richard who also Deaf. My youngest comes to CDCC and loves it! Hi, I'm Judy Wood.I am married with two daughters and four grandchildren. I often help with my younger daughter’s nursery in Cirencester. I was invited to join the team of volunteers to help run CDCC four years ago and what a pleasure it has been. To see the children playing and inter-acting with one another is just wonderful and proves how essential this club is. Hi, I'm Nicola Hewlett. I'm married to Mal, we haven’t got any children, but have two dogs and two cats. Scouting has been a big part of my life and working with children brings me great enjoyment - I find their outlook on life inspiring. I've been a CDCC volunteer almost since the start and my role is to keep track of the money and the craft stock and to have fun with the children. I have just finished my first training at BSL. I have met some really lovely people through volunteering at CDCC. Hi, I'm Justine Norman. I have been completely deaf in my left ear since I had mumps when I was four years old. I am married and we have two children and two dogs. I found out about CDCC when my niece started coming to the club. She was born in 2015 with moderate hearing loss. I love volunteering for CDCC, helping the children with crafts, seeing them enjoying themselves and having fun. ׉ 7cassandra://OI75-XtvmxCCkD566aISRW7lg87rHBVXqQaE4DLoKeM%`̵W}$f\ W}$f\ {בCט{u׉׉ 7cassandra://USJLVbCpHgfdMwA4mBt6fZllv6mtG6MTJCaNblQeK7Az2` ׉ 7cassandra://8YueTpKrRcHdCmk1lVyUVPIO9NrIpDGzVuWJ5hIfbKI͈`S׉ 7cassandra://z1IByWMA8APUriveRc58EtvqabntKb1xjvi2sFX6Zi4.f`̵׉ 7cassandra://8Cro3KmFOJcgbsiDkj_7zYYRncw4Upnlh6TZcW4bN9Q͠W}$f\ ט{u׉׉ 7cassandra://qkmv-CSknYNH2FjvBy_lYnbU9CacUJ3PhoHkUKak2fQ9` ׉ 7cassandra://gKYa-w8XNrweP1iEUlDf1NBs7es_ovqDGNKpXtLCflUH`S׉ 7cassandra://SiIAxxuukuttM4oZ26jAx5tieDsQxxG3QB3E1lK2_N8`̵׉ 7cassandra://nYNydF21Zs2N79jS3pbXiDdjBK3NCzYVf0BRT4gkxo0͠W}$f\ נW}$g\ -5̖9ׁHhttp://www.gda.org.ukׁ ׁ Ј׉EWhat we do We welcome children 0-9 years of age with any level of hearing impairment, as well as parents or carers, and hearing siblings and best friends.

An adult must always attend with their child and if the child requires the responsible adult must always take them to the toilet, the leaders will not take them for Child Protection reasons. 2. If the session is particularly busy and you have more than one parent with your child, we may have to ask one of the parents to go into another room as the main room gets rather congested. This is for safety of the children. 3. If the lights flash everyone must pay attention immediately to the Leaders as this is how we attract attention for announcements and emergency situations. 4. If a child consistently misbehaves during a session, we have a timeout process where the child will be asked to sit in a separate room with their adult for a set period of time. 5. Hot drinks must always be consumed away from the main room. 6. If the lights are flashed and it is a fire drill or genuine fire emergency, then everyone must convene in the car park. 7. Parents can expect the Leaders to behave professionally and with discretion. 8. Parents can also expect their children and be kept safe during their time with th ׉ 7cassandra://UW1gHXJ7pJbytDjAGAcw4sImQdPI0HxFf5_52quvrm8$`̵W}$g\ ׈EW}$g\ !W}$g\ {,CDCC welcome pack (1)W}$N,;
