Become A Trustee of DELTA

DELTA (Deaf Education through Listening and Talking) is a small charity, started in 1980 by a group of teachers of the deaf, passionate about giving deaf children and their families the information and skills they needed to ensure that they had the best possible start in life and were able to seize their opportunities.

DELTA believes that the majority of deaf children can learn to speak the language of the home, with appropriate amplification and support. This enables them to be an active independent part of the family and wider community. 

We are looking for people with the skills to help steer the charity through the next phase as we look for ways to work with families and professionals in the new digital era when families and authorities are strapped for cash and time! Either as part of the trustee board which is made up of professionals, parents and deaf adults or to help with a specific task.

The trustees meet face to face once a year, one weekend in the autumn and online on the last Thursday evening of each month, the meeting is usually 1 ½ to 2 hours. Sub groups meet to suit their members.

We have six online professional CPD sessions each year and online drop-in sessions for families.   We have recently enjoyed meeting up with some of the volunteers with regional reunions, and there is enthusiasm to hold face to face events for families again.  

If you are enthusiastic about supporting the charity to promote opportunities for deaf children and or are interested in joining the trustees, we would love to hear from you.

Please do submit your interest below and send us your CV. Once received, we will be in contact within 10 working days.
