Deaf Active deliver a range of projects for Deaf and hearing people of all ages. With the cost-of-living crisis, it has been said by families that they are unable to have a summer holiday this year and many will struggle to afford day trips. The aim of this project is to provide children and young people in the area with a variety of fun and exciting activities that they would other wise not be able to experience. Deaf Active have already applied for funding for a two-night residential at the end of August for 40 young people and we have applied for funding for a family day trip to Alton Towers allowing 70 people from the local community to attend for free during August.Deaf Active are based in a fantastic community centre, The Joseph Lappin Centre, Old Swan where we have access to outdoor space and a Multi Usage Games Area. The children have taken over planning the summer and have decided that we are going to spend our days outdoors embracing the (hopefully) sun. They have gone wild with plans for water parties, UV parties and are now hoping to add fun filled foam parties to the mix. We have sourced a foam machine for £529.99 and believe it is a game changer for our events. The funding from yourselves would be spent on purchasing this and making our events even more AMAZING! We have party equipment that we have built up over the years including UV lights, Slip ‘n’ Slide, a Bouncy Castle, speakers and a huge inflatable unicorn sprinkler. A foam machine would be a fantastic addition to our equipment. As mentioned, we provide activities for a mixture of Deaf and hearing children and young people. Many of which struggle with socialising due to language barriers, confidence and isolation. Having these events will provide a fun and engaging environment where these barriers can be overcome. Improving mental and physical wellbeing for the children and young people. Purchasing the foam canon will allow us to host foam parties, water parties and much more.
