Case studies about deaf volunteers

We have collected some case studies about people's experiences of volunteering. The stories show the range of roles which deaf volunteers get involved in and why they enjoy it. They also highlight barriers or challenges for deaf volunteers and how people have resolved them.

Perspectives from volunteers

• Adam Wilson and Baxter the dog
• Patrick Wright
• John Corteen
• Barbara Warner

Perspectives from volunteer co-ordinators

• Gloria Pullen at Nottinghamshire Deaf Society
• Kathryn Dolby at BID Services with Deaf People
• Melanie Russell-Smith at Nottingham CVS
• Bertha Walker at National Trust for Scotland

Thank you to everyone who has told us about their experiences.
