CDA Trustees wanted

CDAs Trust Board is currently looking to recruit some new Trustees. If you feel you
can offer something to support us voluntarily and help us to continue building our
work within the Deaf Community in Cambridgeshire (including Peterborough). If you
are, then please do let us know and we will be very happy to follow this up. Please
contact Jamie@cambsdeaf.plus.com and we will forward it to the Trustees of the
Board.
Goodbye Roma
Roma Parrick, a popular BSL Interpreter in our
region, recently moved away. We wanted to give her
a proper goodbye and we held a collection. We gave
Roma some Boots vouchers and a card as she left our
area to move to the south of England.
On behalf of all readers, we wish Roma the best of
luck for the future and we are sure she will settle
down well.

What have they
been up to?
Recently, the girls from
Supporting Deaf People
were busy clearing out
a lot of things in CDAs
old office
(between the
two main
halls). They
have now
made the
room into a
meeting room
or a private
room for one
to one
meetings. They also managed to tidy up the
CDA car park & courtyard by removing all
the weeds. A big thank you to all three lassies!

Afterwards we had a chat. We played Dominoes (3 and 5 Knock-Outs) on Friday 7

winner.
The weather was hot at last and 36 people came to club on Friday 4

East brought a new game called Hoy Bingo, with 3 games and 3 prizes. We would
like to say thanks Frank.


50 people came to the sausage and mash Supper (see photo on left) on Friday 2
nd

July 2010. The hall was hot because the weather was warm so I brought a fan to
keep the hall cool. The food was fantastic and wonderfully prepared and served.
Thanks to Michael Pape, Catherine Palmer, Alison Frisby, Christine Tarrant and Nigel
Frisby (see photo on right), also Kathleen Gilbert (not pictured). Lots of people said
the sausages were very good and wondered where they came from. The sausages
came from my local butchers, which is Betts on Station Road, March.

It is with great sadness that we learned Aubrey Bradshaw passed away on the 25

SUPPORTING DEAF PEOPLE PROJECT update July 2010

The Project has been busy over the last few months and the
team is nicely established in the CDA. We have made the old
office into a meeting room etc which will be very useful for us
as a team and also for other purposes connected with the CDA.
We have also changed our own office around to give us more
space and to make the room more Deaf friendly.

Just a reminder that we work with D/deaf, hard of hearing,
deafened, deaf/blind people living in Cambridgeshire and we
aim to ensure that people are enabled to live as independently as possible. We can
help with things like dealing with day to day issues, budgeting, help with
correspondence, developing social skills etc. One of the workers is usually
available at the drop in sessions across the County.

Please contact me if you would like to make a referral or discuss your needs any
further.

The team is: Mary Godden (Coordinator) Helen Money and Sally Skeldon (Support
Workers) and are here for you!

Cambridge Deaf Lunchtime Group
The average attendance for the last three months was 18 people. We
raised about 20 per month from raffle which was good. It was good to
see Deaf people meeting each others for get together chat with tea/coffee etc. A
big thank you to Linda for doing the raffle and also those who helped to do the
washing up and tidied the room afterwards to make way for the Level Two BSL
course later the day. Every little help make a lot of difference. A million thanks

Fenland Deaf Drop-in
On 29
th
April, a good crowd of 21 people turned up at Deaf Drop-in and we had
some quite good raffle prizes. On 20
th
May my two old School friends Peter and
Anne Ross from East Croydon, London visited. They enjoyed talking with our Deaf
people. Hopefully they will come back again. On 17
th
June, a very warm day,
everybody turned up wearing Summer clothes at last.
MICHAEL PAPE

Peterborough Deaf Drop in
We have had people coming in to give us talks recently. Sue Billam gave a talk
about Our Voice. It was very useful as we learnt how Our Voice can help us. Sue
Foulstone gave a talk about M.E., a medical condition that she suffers with. This
was helpful to listen to Sue Foulstone about her health and what she is like when
she has bad days. Liz Jones, from Social Services, gave us a talk about how
Social Services can help D/deaf people. We have also had a visit from Andy
Palmer and his work colleague. They work for RNID and were visiting the Deaf
Drop In and bought some information with them about RNID.

We arranged a day out to Ferry Meadows. The weather was fantastic!! It was
great to see so many there (I think there was about 25 people). A few people
came by bus, but the bus driver didnt tell them where to get off for Ferry
Meadows so they ended up going a bit further than they should have done! Glenn
showed his photos of himself making a chest of drawers in a woodwork class. His
friends at the Drop In were very impressed. Glenn was very proud. It was a
lovely afternoon, we had picnics and signed for most of the afternoon! A few of us
had a boat trip on the lake.

The Deaf Drop In in Peterborough still sees a lot of people coming. Some people
ask Debbie or Sue for help with paperwork, etc., and Elaine is kept very busy on
the phone. Sally Clelland, from Social Services, is also there nearly every week to
assist clients with things that take longer than a Drop In session to sort out, e.g.
benefit issues. Astrid Orme from Our Voice also tries her best to be at the Drop-In
as often as possible'.


CDA NEWS

Peterborough Deaf Drop in(Cont)

Privacy is very important at the Deaf Drop In. When Debbie/Sue/Elaine are
behind the green screens with a client, please DO NOT interrupt or watch the
conversation.

As we have a lot of people waiting to see Debbie or Sue, from July, there will be a
number system, where you pick up a number so that we know who is next in the
queue, this will be like taking a ticket at the Post Office or the shoe shop or even
the Doctors. There will also be a time limit for each client which will be a
maximum of 15 minutes each so that we can see everyone more quickly. Please
be patient, Debbie and Sue will get round to you. If your query will take more
than 15 minutes, Debbie and Sue will get back to you. If your problem needs
more time than we can give you, your case will be referred to Sally Support
Worker for Social Services or Astrid, Our Voice Advocate for Deaf People.

Havent we had some lovely weather recently? Maybe a bit too warm for some of
you but lets hope the nice weather continues for the rest of the summer. We
hope you have a lovely summer, whether you are staying at home or going away.
The Deaf Drop In will still be open in August, so pop in and see us. If you have
any photos from your holiday or day trips, bring them in.

At last we are enjoying good weather and let us hope this will last the whole of the
summer period. I hope you all have a good holiday whatever you are planning to
do. By the time you receive this Newsletter, the World Cup fever will be over and
it was a pity that England were beaten by the Germans! I think we expect too
much of the England players and we have to remember they are only human,
never mind how well they are paid!
As you can see on the front page of this addition of the Newsletter, Mary, Sally
and Helen put in a lot of effort to clear away the rubbish and sorting out a room
which will be use as a meeting room or for private one to one meetings. This goes
to show how much effort they have put in for the sake of our Deaf Community and
CDA. Well done lassies.
Also Mary and Sally are organising a new CDA social evening on Friday July 23rd
(see the poster elsewhere in the newsletter) Do come along and enjoy the social
gathering.
We are very sorry to hear the sad news of Aurbrey Bradshaw who passed away
recently. More information will be included in the next newsletter. He was a lovely
and happy man. He usually teased me that I am his doctor as he always thought I
looked like him!!
Our new website is still not ready yet but it will be very soon.

involved, then please do let us know. Email address is at the bottom of the front

PALS
Recently I have had a problem with my local audiology department
(Hinchingbrook Hospital)there was a disagreement between myself and reception
as to what time my appointment was. I arrived early for what I understood was a
twelve noon appointment, but they had one PM on their computer. I had to be
somewhere else at one PM, so once I had found this out I had to leave quickly.
I contacted the hospital PALS service, and we have resolved my problem. The
answer is a little advertised free service. If you sign a consent form they will
send a text reminder of ALL appointments that are arranged by the hospital to
your mobile phone.
You have to agree to tell them if you lose your mobile, or change the number.
You have to agree that if your lose it, or it was stolen, then other people could find
out what appointments you had arranged (and remember it is ALL appointments,
and that could include ones to clinics that may not want anyone else to know
about.
Still I think this service is a good way to make sure that someone with a hearing
loss knows for sure what time there appointment isand if your as forgetful as I
am then a reminder is a bonus.
If your would like this service I suggest you contact the PALS service of your
hospital.

Deaf & Hearing Clubs (Huntingdon and Cambridge)
Both Huntingdon & Cambridge Deaf & Hearing club continue to do well with good
attendance. At the Cambridge one, we had really enjoyable sessions including
Bingo organised by Colin Garner (Deaf). He was really funny and he made
everybody laugh. He is the perfect D/deaf person for all hearing people who were
trying to polish up their signing skills! Cambridge is now closed till September.
At Huntingdon, it will be open every month except August. One of the sessions we
had was a Quiz competition to mark the 5th anniversary last May. Here are
examples of some of the questions we used. 1) How many different people have
attended the Huntingdon club since it began? 2) What was the number of the
highest attended meeting? 3) What was the number of the lowest attended
meeting? 4) How many Deaf and how many Hearing people attend the club? 5)
How many people called Smith have attended the meetings? Answer will be in
the next newsletter.
Again, our big thanks to all who have taken part in making tea/coffee etc., and
also for organising the games which everyone enjoys.
Please see page two of the newsletter with the information of both Huntingdon
