Our Mission

Our mission is to carry on the work our mother/wife enjoyed so much. In memory of Pam Yale, we have set up this foundation to support deaf and hearing impaired children to help them get the educational trips and experiences they are unfortunately lacking. Pam was a teacher of the deaf for many years and was always passionate about the value of the out of classroom learning being the most important. Additional support is required at ground level to allow the children access to trips such as these which often has additional cost implications. We hope to be able to offer financial support to families that may be affected by these extra costs.
In addition to this, having more people able to sign (BSL) to reduce communication barriers in settings such as nurseries and outdoor activity centres was something that Pam felt would help to increase children's ability to learn by doing, rather than simply through classroom learning. Therefore we also are making it part of our mission to educate early years workers in British sign language to make sure as many setting as possibly have a percentage of workers able to use sign language.
