Funding

We can, in some circumstances, make small grants to support our members or professionals or organisations who support deaf children or young adults in Oxfordshire. Non-members can apply for funding, but should include a membership form and the subscription fee with their application.

The Walter Buckingham Fund

The Walter Buckingham Foundation Fund supports young deaf people aged 16+ who want to continue their education beyond school, for example in further education, apprenticeships or higher education/university. It may be able to provide a one-off grant to help with the costs of books, equipment or other necessities to support young deaf people in their training and education beyond school.

The General Funds

ODCS General Funds can be made available to support deaf young people or their families. Grants can be awarded for a range of needs, including:

  • attending a training course or one-off activity
  • support in buying essential technology (hardware or software) to help our young people
  • supporting families in accessing essential services

We are usually unable to provide funding for ongoing activities, such as regular weekly or monthly activities.
