We know that giving back can boost staff morale and teamwork but what if partnering with the right charity can build inclusive infrastructure for Gloucestershire while strengthening your organisation?
As the only dedicated Deaf charity in Gloucestershire, GDA is a trusted local organisation with county-wide impact, supporting the 1 in 3 people who will experience hearing loss in their lifetime. We specialise in inclusive communication that enables people marginalised by communication barriers to live confident lives of participation. This is systemic change in action and for business partners, GDA represents an approach that delivers tangible impact.
GDA gives 360 support to deaf children, families, young people, adults and elders. Our work spans education, wellbeing, technology, communication and community to tackle health inequality, open up access, challenge attainment gaps and address isolation.
For businesses, partnering with GDA is not about a logo on a leaflet. It is an investment in long-term, visible, evidenced impact.Our vision is a county that ultimately doesn’t need us — where every Deaf person is fully resourced with opportunities for meaningful participation.
Employees increasingly want to work for organisations with strong social values, where inclusion is not a side issue. Choosing GDA as your Charity of the Year aligns naturally with CSR, ESG and equality goals. Our inclusive, total communication approach also benefits partner organisations, strengthening inclusive workplace culture across diverse teams.
Ultimately, a partnership with GDA gives staff purpose and a shared legacy of longterm change — not just a fundraising total.
Whether your business is looking to energise staff, demonstrate social impact, strengthen community ties or embed inclusion into its culture, GDA works collaboratively to design a partnership that delivers real outcomes that staff can see, helping to build a more inclusive Gloucestershire for all.
Let’s build a Charity of the Year partnership that works for your business. Contact our Head of Partnerships: partnerships@gda.org.uk
