DDYC-DEX Deaf Youth Crew

Hi,

I’m part of DDYC, its for deaf young adults age 18-30 who live in Yorkshire. 

We meet up every month usually on a saturday, to do fun stuff across Yorkshire, which makes it extra fun with lots to explore.

We’ve done loads of cool stuff like going to theatres, Ninja Warriors, go Karting and residentials. Every event/activity is full of good vibes, laughs and real connections with other deaf young adults.

And don’t worry there’s always a BSL interpreter at every event so everyone can join in, chat and feel included.

ITS ALL FREE (we may ask for a small donation sometimes if tickets are expensive)

If travel is a problem we can help with that too!

Whether you are looking to make friends, try something new or just have a good time in a deaf friendly space, DDYC is the Place for you.

SO WHAT YOU WAITING FOR CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW OR THE QR CODE AND FILL IN YOUR MEMBER FORM. (Parents/guardians/carers need to consent and sign form for u16)
