Event Description
We are delighted to share these exciting summer holiday sessions hosted by the SVP Deaf Centre Newcastle, running in partnership with the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS).
Led by a Deaf tutor with BSL interpreter support, these sessions offer a fantastic, supportive environment for Deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their families to learn, play, and socialise together. Each week features a unique theme alongside music, games, and signed stories.
The sessions include refreshments, fun sports activities, toys, resources, opportunities to meet Deaf role models, and even special organised trips (including a farm trip, park trip, and a visit from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People!).
