About Us

Hello and Welcome! I’m Charlotte and i’m thrilled to be creating a warm and welcoming group for parents of D/deaf children in Worthing, West Sussex. Along with my husband Nick, we’ve navigated the ups and downs of parenting a deaf child over the past few years. Our amazing son was born with mild hearing loss, which has 
progressed to severe, and although we don’t have a diagnosis or know what the future holds, we are determined and hopeful. We’ve witnessed first hand the incredible achievements of D/deaf children, and we’re proud to be part of this vibrant community.

Our son had the wonderful opportunity to attend The Elizabeth Foundation pre-school in Hampshire, where he and I made lifelong friends. We love attending events for deaf children in Hampshire, and would love to create the same connections here in Worthing!

Now that our son is in a mainstream school, we understand how crucial it is for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing 
children to feel represented and included. We want to create a space where our kids can come together to play, communicate, and connect with others who share similar experiences. It's also a safe haven for their hearing 
siblings (like our older son) to bond and support one another.

This group will be a supportive space for parents who have travelled this journey, where we can share our 
experiences, celebrate achievements, and lean on one another during tough times. Together, let’s navigate this unique world and forge lasting friendships!
