DomesticAbuse Course

For DeafWomen inPeterboroughA course aimed at educang women aboutdomesc abuse has been launched in

Peterborough.

The couse, which is funded by Acon for

Deafness and run alongside Women’s Aid

in Peterborough is aimed at Deaf Women

and delivered enrely in sign language and

aimed at deaf women who have been the

vicm of domesc abuse or are at risk.

Ruth Godden, CDA’s professional

advocate, BSL interpreter and

councillor Anna Baker have been

running the couse alongside a trainer

from Women’s Aid.

Ruth Said: “This course is so

important because deaf women

are more at risk of domesc

abuse but there have so far

been no courses available in

sign language”

Ruth has been inhibited to

talk at the convenon of

people who deliver the

Freedom Programme

New Creative GroupAdvocacy Sessions

A new way to provide advocacy is being developed

by CDA. The new group advocacy sessions will run

in Hunngdon on a monthly basis and make use of

creavity as a way of expression of wishes and feelings.

The new sessions are aimed at deaf people with

addional physical or learning needs who may havediculty expressing themselves.

Ruth Godden, CDA’s Advocate who is running the

sessions said: “I’m really excited about these sessions.

Those who want to come will be using art as a way

to express their feelings or thoughts in a relaxed

environment. That informaon can then be used to

improve the lives of those deaf people.”

If you would like more informaon, please contact RuthGodden [email protected]



Chairperson’s ColumnIsn’t Spring wonderful!

I have been lucky enough to

spend me outdoors seeing

the spring owers and some

new lambs. I love seeing thedaodils.

I think the planned CDA walks

that you will see in this issue

are a lovely idea as walking is

great for your health as well

as the chance to have a chat.

I was in Hope Hall on Palm

Sunday and I saw the lovelynew projector in the hall and

it was really good to use.

It is lovely that our hall is

looking so fabulous. I imagine

we will hear of lots of ways

that it has been used in the

next CDA news!

We’ve also almost completed

our Video Studio which will

mean it will be much quickerand easier for our sta to

create videos in BSL to keep

you informed about what is

going on at CDA as well as in

the County.

There is also good news

for the community as we

are recruing for a new

community worker.

I hope you enjoy reading

about what is happening.

Best wishes

Janie Anderson
