Anyone got any contacts for deaf/hard of hearing charities ?

[Gecko]

Has anyone got any contacts with any small charities specifically for the deaf or hard of hearing ? Please send me a PM with your phone number . I'd like to discuss something with you.

Just to be clear I am absolutely not trying to sell something here. This is an interesting opportunity for a deaf person to try something quite unique. Does anyone know any deaf/hard of hearing people out there ?
Oh ....and yes this is a blatant bounce to get the thread back up the list

Blatant self promotion.

Burn him, he's a witch!

About as welcome as... etc




Sorry Gecko I just couldn't resist.

A more serious answer:
I don't know any of the deaf people personally but I do work with the Cambridge Arts Theatre who run a deaf summer school I could put you in touch with them if the product you are most definitely not selling would be appropriate.

You could try the RNID . I expect they could give you a list?

Geks, Louise is half deaf, wears two hearing aids. Been so since about 6. Perforated eardrums.
Suits me fine though .... cant hear me snoring, and I can speak behind her back.
Only downside is that my voicebox is wearing out early because ive got to repeat everything twice.

WHAT ?

Re Arts theatre - yes please that would be a very interesting link up for what I have in mind. I think they would be very interested.

Ok folks thanks for the feedback and various PM's . I'm going to close the thread now as I have some good leads from various people who I am now in contact with directly.
Much obliged to everyone who contacted me.

For what it's worth , when your hearing is damaged it is almost always irreversible. If you don't wear earplugs whilst riding a motorcycle one day you may be needing the services of one of the charities I have been trying to get in contact with. Think about it.....
