“Deaf Action offered us a place on their Basic BSL (British Sign Language) course, giving us a way to communicate with Lucie when words weren’t an option. Since then, we've become regulars at their monthly toddler group—a safe, welcoming space where families like ours can connect."

Kris and Ladywell BCFC are hosting a charity football match to raise funds for Deaf Action's Parent & Toddler Group. Inspired by Kris’s daughter Lucie, who was born with hearing loss, the event will support our toddler group for deaf children and their families.

📅 Saturday 26 July
🕙 10am
📍 Xcite Winchburgh Sport & Wellbeing Hub, Broxburn

All proceeds will help us provide new toys, equipment, and group outings. Come along to show your support, or donate via the JustGiving page to help them reach their £1,000 goal. Every penny makes a difference! 👇
