Why NDCS?
NDCS is one of the most experienced charities running challenge events, in fact we were the first national charity to put on an international cycle challenge back in 1997! We are committed to providing you with the best possible experience and helping you all the way to meet your fundraising target.
Our UK Challenges are run responsibly and carefully, in accordance with the Code of Practice for Outdoor Fundraising in the UK. All teams are fully briefed to respect the local environment, and we limit numbers to 200. Download the Code of Practice here![[pdf]](/display_images/document_icons/pdf.gif){kind=icon}
We have guaranteed race places in a wide variety of events. However if you get your own place in a race that we're not currently promoting, you can still be a part of our fundraising team!! Simply get in touch and we can provide you with fundraising support, a running vest and all the encouragement you'll need to achieve your goal.
About NDCS
The sponsorship money raised from these challenges will directly support the work of the National Deaf Children’s Society. NDCS is the only UK charity solely dedicated to the support of all deaf children and young people, their families and professionals working with them.
Three babies are born deaf in the UK every day and 90% of deaf children are born to hearing parents with little experience of deafness. Deafness makes it harder for children to learn to communicate and many families will face challenges in establishing good communication with their deaf child.
We work to do this by:
- Offering clear, balanced information and support to families
- Advocating for deaf children, young people and their families
- Providing opportunities for young deaf people to develop social skills, confidence and independence
- Working with professionals and policy makers to ensure high quality services are available for all
- Campaigning and lobbying on behalf of deaf children, young people and their families
