CDYP - RISK OF CLOSURE
CHILD Deaf Youth Project is a charitable organisation operating for over
ten years. The service it provides is unique within the Tees Valley area
and meets the needs of Deaf and hard of hearing children and young people
aged 5 –25 years.
This vital service has now hit a funding crisis, which places it at great
risk of possible closure. If core funding cannot be secured soon over
60 children and young people could be left disadvantaged and excluded
with no-where to go.

Jacqueline Barnes-Jones (Project Co-ordinator) has just returned to work from
her six months maternity leave, she had a baby boy called Oliver and they
are both well. On behalf of CDYP, Jacqueline would like
to thank all who guessed the unborn weight of the baby, the money
raised went towards the Youth activities. Oliver weight 9lbs and
3 half ozs, what a big baby! Congratulation to the winner,
we raised £165.
Recently, we had an Annual General Meeting at Middlesbrough Deaf Centre on 21st September. Thank you to all the attendees who showed their committed and continued supported for the CDYP to keep this valuable project existing, which is very important and greatly benefits both Deaf children and their families.

Youngsters are using their sign language skills to help hearing impaired
young people using the Internet. The youngsters appear on a new website
for the Child Deaf Youth Project, a scheme in Middlesbrough which helps
build the confidence and self-esteem of hearing impaired children.

The website was FANTASIC!! But I always pull horrible faces and I always
say "really" and "terrible" plus others, you know
what I mean? I always ask for feedback. My mum says thank you very much
for letting me be involved and she really likes it. She was HAPPY! Two
things I noticed, all Deaf people signing were not looking at the camera,
but were looking at the people behind the camera and there are some mistakes
in the signing but it’s all right. The part I loved most was being
involved with other Deaf people from CDYP and making the sign film. I’m
so happy! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Hello Youth Workers,
I have emailed CDYP’s new BSL website address to others; that’s
a great website, so I felt it should be shared with other young people
to make sure they see it. It’s important that Deaf Youth Workers
share information. Anyone wishing to become a member of Deaf Youth Workers
Forum please contact Marcella who is Membership for DYWF. Her email is:
marcellas@bda.org.uk
Cheers
