Deaf World
Chairs Annual Report
2023 to 2024
It gives me great pleasure to present to you our allnual report as undertaken and delivered by
everyone involved at Deaf World.
ECAD 2023 season
ECAD Midlands made history by being the first deaf team to play in the Arden Sunday Cricket League
(ASCL). ECAD registered with the ASCL in 2022 and were accepted to play in season 2023 and placed
in Division 5.
ECAD Midland5 inaugural Season proved to be a success as we finished 5th in Division 5. Four of our
players ftnished in the top 4 of the batting averages, Sammey (captain) topped the bowling averages
and two featured in the top 10 of the h"elding in Division 5.
The excellent performances were noticed by the national cricket body ECB (England and Wales Cricket
Board) and invited nominations from Deaf World for their prestigious Disability Premier League (DPL).
Out of the Five nominated, two were selected for further training camps.
This really bodes well as ECAD Midlands are working tirelessly in ensuring that the players prepare
themselves for the national deaf England cricket team. Deaf World and ECAD Midlands are aware of the
ECB'S Disability Cricket Pathway and are fully committed in encouraging players to have aspirations.
The recruitment of new players continues through schools, colleges and universities and through our
Social media network. We are beginning to See the existing members play an active role in not only
developirbg the project but supporting our funding application5 and the growth of ECAD Midlands. The
players also took the First Aid in Sports training held in July 2023.
ECAD Midlands held theirannual AGM and Awards ceremony and ended season 2023 with a celebratory
social event to enjoy their well-earned achievements and success in the Arden Sunday Cricket League.
January 2023 saw the commencement Df the indoor nets with two Level 2 coaches and two BSL
interpreters. We recognise that in order to enhance the performance, investment and resources will
be required. The experience of belno coached by ECB standards has led to assessing how we learn,
train and practice in the indoor nets as well as outdoors. A manual has been developed to fine tune the
learning and performances that will be piloted, analysed and feedback sought from the beneliciaries
and the coaches that will feed into a potential BSL resource.
ECAD Midlands and Deaf World look forward to season 2024 at their shared ground courtesy of
Harborne Cricket Club and West House School. We look fonvard to developing a positive relationship
ith Harborne CC and the school with potential investment of the ground.

Road to Enrichment (R2E) Road Safety Project
August 2D23 Deaf World delivered the R2E Fload Safety Project that saw 12 deaf and hard of hearing
complete the Programme. Out of the 12 benefi.ciaries 2 have passed their drivirbg tests fi.rst time. This
gives us a total of 10 young people that have passed their driving test courtesy of funding from the
Eveson Trust.
Youn9 people continue to surprise us with their energy and enthusiasm and bring to life the project
in a unique way. They offer plenty for the project to consider in terms of its improvements and
developments. We thank Ihem and the advanced driving instructors who continue to learn and adapt
their learning Styles and methods.
The R2E programme as always is very popular and we continue to receive ￿ferra[S from out of
our West Midlands catchment area and from people over 25. Such is the demand and need for this
programme that we continue to make appllcations and talk with potential funders of thls valuable life
ski115 programme.
Here are two quotes from parents of DHHYP that passed their driving test first tirne throLJgh our R2E
driving project.
Chona- "Ash, Thank you so much for all your help. Jericho got his driving license first tlme.
Jericho met Ash and this organisation through an event organised by HI Club in his college.
He then joined the summer activity of driving lessons. It IS such a great kick-start for his
learning and developing himself. It is a privilege that activities like thls are supported by
this organisation"
Shazia- "I would like to say a huge thank you for Deaf Club for providing Subhan with the
lessons he had for the whole week he has gmwn so much in confidence and also meant
that it took loads of stress of me a parent he was relaxed and so happy we need fundin9 for
clubs like these to go on it is so important for young people with Disabilities and hearing
impalrment to have places to go to where they can feel comfortable and motivated in a safe
learnlng environment"
Life skills residential
The life skills residentials continue to feature on our annual programme of activities. The young people
have the opportunity to travel, to make new friends, gain confidence, acquire independent and life
skills such as managing a daily budget and time keeping, able lo understand and follow instructions,
navigate the public transport and present themselves at various educational and historical sltes.
It gives parents, carers and farnily members respite safe in the knowledge that their young people
are engaging in an educational and learning environment. The life skills residentials are now being led
by our Steering group members with support from Deaf World staff. As the steering group rnembers
begin to grow In their journey as competent and reliable assets to the organisation, it gives further
credence and evidence of the ethos being implemented and delivered with young people at the
forefront.
The steering group members give reassurance and act
as role models for the young deaf community and gives
parents/ carers and family members the confidence that
Deaf World is a young people led organisation and worthy
of their time and support,
We continue to expand and broaden our life ski115
re5identials as we further research potential opportunities
for youth exchanges across Europe and possibly beyond.

BBC Midlands today
Courtesy of our positive relatiorkship and engagement with UK Youth, they instigated a meeting with
the local BBC Midland5 Today team to highlight and broadcast the needs of the yOLJng deaf CornM￿nity
n Birmingham. Under the theme of the Cost of Living crisis and the impact this is having on the young
deaf community the SBC team contacted Deaf World and began the process of ftlmlng. The BBC
team interviewed two of our leading steerFng group metnbers and were on location at the Forward
Drive Cricket Academy to film the ECAD Midlands cricket project. This demonstrate5 the increased
awarenes5 of the work Deaf World is delivering in partnership with DHHYP.
BBC See Hear
Following in the footsteps of BBC Midlands Today, BBC See Hear (a deaf TV magazine) came calling
to feature Deaf World and its steering group member5. The film crew came to the Summerfield
community centre and Spent the day filming four members of the steering group. The format was
a much deeper insight of the Impact of the cost of living is having on their lives and how they are
managing through the diffi'cult and challenging period and how Deaf World is supporting them.
The young people did themselves credit and this led to further conversation with the BBC for other
potential features regarding the wider needs of the young deaf community. We applaud them for their
positive energy and resilience throughout the difficult times and giving us their valuable time.
The broadcast In February 2024 had a maJor lrnpact on the members featured in the programme and
their families. It began to highlight and Showcase the wider challenges and needs of the young deaf
community articulated by the steering group members. Equally it emphasised the need for a deaf
young people's service.
Networking and raising the profile
Deaf World have been busy networking arid connetting with the following organisations and local
authority to continue to raise the profile of the wider lingu istlc, social, educational and social needs
of the young deaf community.

Birmingham City Council
Considering the current 51tuation with the city council declaring h-nancial difficultie5 It has a major
impact on the young d@af community. In addition to the c05t of living the proposed 20QID over two
years of the council tax will have a major financial impact on the residents of Birmingham.
This will also impact the young people's service and the youth centre's as they have been earmarked
for further reduction. Many communlty centre and the youth service provision wilk probably see
reductions in services or even closure.
The consequences for Deaf World is that it may need to vacate Summerfield Community Centre
pending the outcome of selling of their assets. We maintain a positive relationship with the local
councillors, the centre management team at the centre and the city council officers. Deaf World have
expressed our deep concerns in the strongest possible terms to the Head of the youth service and the
Director of Children and Families.
We are fully aware of the consequences of Deaf World'5 youThg people's not being able to provide a
quality and comprehensive to one of the most vulnerable group within the city of Birmingham.
Thank you
Deaf World are extrernely grateful for the support, kindness and trust that has been shown by the
numerous funders to date. The developmental work and progression of the deaf and hard of hearing
young people has been able to grow and prosper.
We are grateful to the staff at Summerfield community centre, the local councillors, tae MP and the
many council staff at variou5 departments for the support shown.
The ethos and principle of youth work and its philosophy hbs been at the forefront of Deaf World
coupled with the on-going investment of our beneficiaries. They have been the driving force and
energy of the organisation and continue to emerge as potential leaders.
The engagement, feedback and acknowledgement that ha5 been forthcoming is a testament to the
success and achkevement of deaf and hard of hearing young people. They are the ones that the stake
holders are seeking to consult and work with.
There are many deaf awareness projerts being discussed with local, regi,onal and national organisations
to review their internal EDI and accessibility policies. Deaf World welcome this opportunity as the lack
of engagement and understanding the deaf comrnunity has shone through via our conversations and
funding applications.
Thank you to all the TrLlStees of Deaf World fortheir support,
time, dedication and the passion for the charity to continLae
to offer quality provision in partnership with young people.
Deaf World look forward to another challenging year and
hoping it continues to raise the profile of deaf and hard of
hearing young people.
We will explore funding opportunities for the ftjture and
are extremely grateful to all our funders without which we
would not be able
to provide our
services to our
young people,
