Christmas Appeal 2019
We are raising money to enable us to continue to empower deaf people so that their lives are enriched. Will you support us this Christmas?
The NDS #12DaysOfGiving Christmas appeal begins on Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of charity giving on the 3rd December. Our appeal will run until Saturday 14th December. All the funds raised will go towards our continuing work with Deaf people and their families.
NDS exists to empower deaf people of all ages and backgrounds so that their lives will be better. If we are going to make progress in our vision to see a society in which all Deaf people can participate then we need your help to do it. There are different ways to help: Giving time and talents, sharing our news and telling others about our work or giving generously.
How can you participate?
