Children, young people and families There are more than 400 deaf or hard of hearing children and young people in Gloucestershire today and our priority is to help them build confidence in a social and relaxed environment. It all starts with our two dedicated clubs, CDCC for the under 8's, and GDYZ for older children going through to young adults. Hearing siblings and friends are welcome as well. Information, advocacy and employment GDA is the only organisation in Gloucestershire able to offer support across the board for Deaf sign language users. That includes help with letter writing, making phone calls and even finding a job. In 2015, GDA was awarded 'Best Social Enterprise' at the Gloucestershire Business Show for our work around deaf employment. Community activities At GDA we pride ourselves on our strong community spirit. Whether you, or someone you know, was born deaf or has become deaf over time through age or illness, we host regular social activities from lipreading classes, hard of hearing clubs, to Deaf lunch club and our Friendship Circle.
