In 2019, GDA will celebrate turning 100 years old and plans are well underway for GDA's milestone anniversary celebrations. To make this a year to remem we would love for you to be part of our celebrations. Here's more about what to expect and how you can be involved: In May 2019 we will be hosting a special anniversary event at GDA - more details on this to follow in due course, but we are hoping to have a Royal visitor with us for the occasion. In addition there will be a photography exhibition from our young people following their photography workshops in January and March. To ensure the story of GDA continues for another 100 years, we have been working with Gloucestershire Archives to store our historical documents and photos. We are delighted to share with you that all the items have now been catalogued and are open for visitors to view at the Gloucestershire Hub on Clarence Row in Gloucester. One of the charity's aims in 2019 will be to collate a report that looks forward to the future of deaf and hard of hearing services in Gloucestershire. In order to do this, we will be seeking your opinions on what is currently in place and what you would like to see available going forward. A survey will be distributed in the coming months, and we would very much welcome your participation in this. We will be running focus groups for BSL users so the deaf community can provide feedback in their first language. Just prior to the celebratory event in May, we will be launching a series of social media video clips showcasing different stories about deafness in order to further educate Gloucestershire about it's like to be live with deafness. And finally, we are looking for 100 people to take on a challenge for GDA to help us raise £20,000.
