Our 11th Annual Rally was a great success this year, with over 50 people attending!

It was a wonderful opportunity to bring deafblind friends together from across our UK regions for a lovely carvery meal, fun, and games.

This year, we took a moment to acknowledge our deafblind friends who couldn't attend due to health issues, and we shared fond memories of those who have passed away during the year.

A massive thanks to all our supporters—we continue to grow our deafblind family in a number of new areas.

Here is an example of our first Craft Club for 2025. Lots of Fun!

With over 28 deafblind people attending with their DBE Communicator-Guides, enjoying Pizza Hut, Black Country Museum, bowling, afternoon tea experience, with dinner bed and breakfast games and laughter - a thoroughly successful fun time spent together with our deafblind community, with new and old friends.

Happy Christmas everyone!

On our way home we met the most lovely man, Mark Gregson . Here is a message from him and little video 🥰

Hi, I would just like to say thank you to the team who I met on the train back from London to Peterborough tonight.

I was the chap (Mark) who sat with the staff and clients (sorry if that's the wrong term) who all made me laugh out loud! Plus I learnt a bit of BSL as well 🙂

You were all amazing.

Well done to our staff members. DBE are proud of you x Debbie James Neringa Neringa Clare Thorne Sharon Brett and Nicola Colegate

Exciting DBE's 3-day Christmas break in Birmingham took place this week... 16 deafblind people and their Communicator-Guides from Peterborough, Essex, Coventry stayed in Lickey and Jamie, Brian and Phil spent time joining in the fun with us. We enjoyed Pizza Hut in Solihull, Cadbury World, afternoon tea, Stratford Christmas Market, with a few fitting in a quick swim. Plenty of chatting, games and fun with all qualified Com-guides supporting deafblind people on a rota system to avoid isolation and refresh their skills. Massive thanks to DBE's Communicator-Guides for all their dedication, hard work and laughter! It was such a fun time, our next DBE 3-day trip will be in April/May 2024, come and join us.

Happy Christmas everyone!

DBE's 9th Rally was a great fun filled success! With over 60 people getting together to catch up with old friends, develop friendships and learn new ways to communicate.
Debbie's 40 years working in the field of deafblindness was celebrated too.
