On Saturday 14th May we celebrated our recent National Lottery Community Fund funding award of £209,080 to deliver deaf youth work for the next 3 years! It was such a lovely day 🎉 with beautiful weather 😎

Our members had a great day chatting and enjoying lots of free food and drinks!

We were incredibly grateful that BBC See Hear presenter and business owner of Yumma Food Yvonne Cobb joined us at 3pm!

Yvonne spoke to our members about her own deaf experience and how she set up 3 successful businesses! She stayed for a while after, took photos and chatted with our deaf young members. She had some big fans who were super excited to meet her!

Thanks so much to everyone who came and a special thank you to volunteer Anthony who helped us get the room ready to party 🤩
