Essex Deaf Children's Society (EDCS) - Health and wellbeing

Essex Deaf Children's Society is a registered charity who organise events to enable deaf children and their families to meet each other, share their experiences and also have some fun!

Throughout the year we host events to give deaf children the opportunity to try different activities and meet new people.

As a registered charity we rely entirely on donations and fundraising to raise money. All of our committee members are volunteers who are either parents of deaf children, are deaf themselves, work with deaf children, or are passionate about improving opportunities for local deaf people. The aim of the charity is to provide support to local deaf children and their families and offer opportunities for people to come together to avoid isolation. We also aim to raise awareness of deafness, and deaf issues, within the wider community.

We often work in partnership with other agencies to ensure we provide a joined up service for our members.

Our main focus is to organise events to enable deaf children and their families to meet each other. Membership is free for all families with a deaf child living in Essex. EDCS welcomes new members.

We aim to run as many free events as possible, however sometimes we will ask for a £3 to £5 donation per child.

We support families with Deaf children, their siblings, but also Children of Deaf Adults (CODA).
