At the end of last year, Music and the Deaf members and some PDDCS youth members were invited to be involved in the NDCS Stolen Futures film which is part of their National Campaign to stop cuts to deaf education. The young people spent the day with Evelyn Glennie, musician and NDCS Vice President, learning about her musical instruments, her career and education experiences. It was rather exciting for those young people who had seen her play live, just a few weeks prior to the filming invite.
Alongside Evelyn Glennie, the campaign clip features Downton Abbey’s Jim Carter, Scarlett Johnson of Pramface fame and Paralympic medallist Ben Rushgrove sharing their views on cuts to services for deaf children. The NDCS are asking for your support to protect the future of deaf education, which has made some changes over the decades, by signing their petition.
