Donations and Fundraising: Current Projects and Appeals
Baby and sensory room
Please support our work with profoundly deaf babies, and infants with additional difficulties. We want to transform our fourth, unequipped, therapy room into a baby and sensory room. Parents with young babies require specialised seating, fitted soft flooring, and additional sound-proofing for privacy.
This room will be used primarily for babies and will be ideal for toddlers with additional difficulties. Many infants have sensory and motor needs in addition to deafness. These children benefit from padded flooring and walls, furniture without hard edges and specialist equipment. A wide angled camera and microphone will capture the families’ experience on a DVD for them to reinforce their learning at home.
We have received two generous donations from charitable trusts towards the project. We need another £5,000 for the work to be completed.

Family Bursary Fund
|
Help us widen access by supporting our Family Bursary Fund. Each child typically requires 3 years of auditory verbal therapy – a total of 60 journeys to Oxfordshire to have sessions with one or more of our Auditory Verbal Therapists. The charity absorbs over a third of the cost of every family’s AV programme. The cost to each family of this life changing therapy is £6,615. The total cost to Auditory VerbalUK is £11,025.
Our Family Bursary Fund provides even more financial help for families on low incomes and families experiencing temporary financial hardship so that they can access our services.

Core costs of the charity
Please support our core work. It is very difficult to secure funding for rent, administration costs, telephone bills, heating and electricity. Without funding for these essentials we cannot function.
We are committed to keeping the spending on fundraising and administration to a minimum. In fact, in our most recent reporting period, our spending on fundraising was just 8.9% of our total income.
