DEAFvibe is a Deaf-Led Charity which consists of the Board of Trustees who meet on a regular basis.

All Trustees appointed to the Board are all volunteers from different backgrounds and are invaluable to the running and development of DEAFvibe. Trustees themselves are Deaf, hard of hearing and hearing and all have valuable knowledge and expertise in which they can offer DEAFvibe. They are also aware of the problems faced by deaf people in their daily lives and are committed to the development of projects that will benefit this client group.

The Board of Trustees will look at progress to date, explore future developments and projects for DEAFvibe and identify new funding streams. They also ensure that the financial records are kept accurate and up-to-date. The Trustees work together to ensure we follow the vision and ethos of DEAFvibe.

We also look at how we can work together with Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened and Deafblind people as well as their family, friends and carers in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

DEAFvibe is reliant on applying for funding streams from a variety of funding providers. We are also extremely grateful to the many people who have provided donations, legacies and assist in fundraising events to support DEAFvibe.

Without the support from our family and friends, the trustees and our volunteers, DEAFvibe would not exist and we would like to thank everyone for your ongoing support and commitment to this Charity.

DEAFvibe are always looking for new Trustees to join the Board. If you have expertise, knowledge, skills and experience that you wish to share, have time on your hands and are able to offer regular commitment to support this worthwhile Charity, please drop an email to: info@deafvibe.co.uk – we would love to hear from you!
