The year from April 2023 to March 2024 was a very successful year for CfD as our new CEO, Justin

Health and Safety lo make sure that all staff have safe working conditions.

Oaisy Williams was appointed as Charity Secretary, to provide support to the Board and Committees.
Rebekah Allen reduced her hours so she could focus on becoming a S￿n Language Inlerpreler.
Rebekah and Daisy now work logelher as the CfD administrative team.
The expanding team meant that CfD outgrew our existing off1ce space. So the trustees agreed that we
should move lo a larger sel of offices bul still in the Vassall Centre. The move was eompleled by April
2024 and the Iruslees are looking forward to seeing the CID team expand further.
The Community Development Office, Mark Gill and the CEO, Justin Smith, have continued lo develop
our social media presence - primari5y through Facebook and Inslagram, with information In BSL and
Englssh. Our next iask Is to add more BSL lo the CfD website

celebfale Iheir Welcome Spaces project. See https".Ilodo.uk14WhZF.

Projects and services for the benefrt of Deaf and hard of hearing people..
1 Equipment Service
The Equipment Service mel all the largels sel by Bristol City Council except for the number of
referrals. But even though we had no manager for 8 months, our referra15 were 950h of the target.
The Injstees want lo see as many deaf people as possible benefitting from the assistive technology
that the Equipment Service can provide. During 2022-23, the Equipment Service received a smaller
number of referrals. The Equipmenl serv￿ Manager, Piers Kittell, therefore launched an Outreach
Project. Piers worked on devdoping a stronger network of referrers and sel up presenlalions lo a
number of organisalions. Induding those who provide housing for older people. These efforts resulted
in a dramalic increase in the number of new Cl￿nIS.
Fortunately, vh*n Piers left, Steve Mullins, the Equipment Officer. volunteered lo lake on the
addilional responsibility of making presenlalions. Sieve was supported by Daisy Williams who
followed up ema11s and phone calls lo organise Sieve's visits. These were very effedive and so
despite the fact that the Equipment Service had no manager in place fof much of 2023-24. the
number of clients began to increase in the second half of the year and we reached 95¥0 of the 8ristol
City Council largel.
