ALL THE NEWS


FROM CDA

Editorial
& News
Janie
Happy new year to
all from the CDA
trustees.
2017 looks to be
another very good year
as the first great news
is that we have won
funding from comic
relief to get help with
our fundraising. As I am
sure a lot of you know
a great deal of our
funding comes from the
council, which is great,
but we want to find

ways of raising money


to make sure that CDA
is strong no matter
what happens. We know
that CDA members have
great ideas about what
we could do if we have
more funding so this is
the first step in making
that happen.
We are currently
looking for new
trustees to join us
especially for people
who have experience of
fundraising.
I very much enjoyed
taking part in the Carol
Service in CDA before
Christmas. It was lovely
to see so many of
the community there.
Hopefully it will not be
long before Spring.
Best wishes for 2017
Janie Anderson

Online Scams
Watch out for online
fraud. Heres some
advice to keep
yourself safe online
from people who are
looking to steal your
money.
Dont accept friend
requests from people
you dont know
If you are already
someones friend, dont
add them as a friend
again
Send a text to a
friend to check if you
are suspicious.
Your real friends wont
ask for money online.

Never give bank


details on Facebook or
by email
Banks dont send
emails so never reply to
an email from the bank
or click on a link
If you receive an
email about a purchase
you havent made, it is
probably fake.
Dont click the links on
the email. Check by
going to the website
yourself by typing in
the website address
and checking.

Farewell Liz!

We said goodbye to Liz


Hilton in November who
has moved on to a new
role at the Cambridge
Arts Theatre. Liz worked as
Finance Officer for CDA for
three years and had learned
sign language to BSL Level 2.
Good luck Liz and thanks for all
you had done for CDA.

CDA wins
Comic Relief
Bid!

Comic Relief have


announced that CDA
have been successful
in their bid for
almost 40,000 so
that we can recruit
a fundraiser to help
the charity become
sustainable over the
next two years.
A big area for potential
for CDA is donated
income and the money
from Comic Relief

will go a long way to


helping CDA increase
income from fundraising
sources and the general
public.
Over 1500 charities
applied for funding
across the UK and only
100 were successful
which demonstrates
how hard the CDA team
worked on the bid and
the importance of the
work we do.

CDA becomes CDA Sponsor


Disability
Deaf Sports
Confident
Awards
employer
CDA has been
accredited as a
Disability Confident
Employer. The
Government scheme
recognises employers
who take steps to
be accessible to
and actively seeks

to employ disabled
employees.
At the time of writing,
out of a total paid staff
of 16, 15 are deaf or
have a hearing loss
and all use British Sign
Language.

CDA were proud


to be one of
the sponsors of
the Deaf Sports
Personality of the
year awards at the
Emirates Stadium in
London. Pictured here
are local footballers
Qadeer Hussain and
Will Palmer at the
awards.

There is a new course being run about Budgeting money delivered by CAP (Christians Against Poverty).
It will be on Saturday March 4th, April 1st and May 6th from 12 noon to 4pm. It will begin with free lunch at
12. The course will be delivered in BSL by both Deaf and hearing trained coaches. The aim is basic budgeting
and money management. The venue still to be confirmed, but will be in Huntingdon. Keep an eye on CDAs
website for more information. (we will assist with transport for those who need it). It is being run in Partnership
with Go!Sign, Cambs Deaf Church and CDA.
More info can be found at: www.capmoneycourse.org

Charlene trains up
Addenbrookes staff in
BSL
CDAs Sign Language
Academy Coordinator
has been delivering
BSL classes to staff at
Addenbrookes Hospital
since October. Charlene
has been working with
staff from the Emmeline
Centre and Audiology
teaching basis sign
language. She said: Its
going really well. Theyre
picking it up really
quickly!
CDA Life going strong
CDAs newest service,
CDA Life is going from
strength to strength.
So far the service, in
partnership with Action
Deafness from Leicester,
has a team of 7 deaf
care or support workers
working with 9 clients
across the county and
is expected to deliver
over 9,000 hours of
service this year.
CDA Life and Action
Deafness provide

services from social


inclusion all the way
through to high level
personal care and all
delivered by trained
staff who use British
Sign Language.
Managing Director
Andy Palmer said:
The great thing
about this partnership
is that we are able
to really improve
the level of care or
support deaf people
in Cambridgeshire
receive. In the past it
was normal for deaf
people to have carers
or support workers
that could not sign
well or at all and this
simply isnt acceptable.
Sometimes it is even life
threatening.
Weve got excellent
feedback from our
clients and some
really life-changing
outcomes. Im so proud
CDA is able to help
deliver this service in
Cambridgeshire.

Third carol
service a
success

Our 3rd Deaf church


Christmas Carol
service was attended
by 28 people.

All the carols and


Christmas story
from the Bible were
beautifully signed by
different people. Penny
Beschizza from London
Deaf church signed a
Christmas message.
We had mulled wine,
hot mince pies and a
buffet. It was a lovely
way to take a break

from the Christmas


busyness and reflect on
the real meaning. Happy
New Year and God
bless everyone in the
Deaf community.
