About Sally Robinson

I have been deaf all my life and worn hearing aids from the age of five years old.

I am a Mum to 3 children and a Grandma to 5 girls.

I worked as a Maths teacher then an Advisory teacher for children and young people who are deaf for 40 years before retiring two years ago.

My sister and I were full-time carers to our Mum in our teenage years as she had MS.

I have volunteered for various charities for most of my working life, including with: DELTA – summer school for families with young children who are deaf; NDCS – giving talks to families of Deaf children on weekends away; DBUK – Mentoring young Deaf Blind people, giving them skills to look for work and building up their confidence; RNID – talks and hearing aid checks.

When I am not volunteering I am meeting up with friends and family and my younger granddaughters keep me busy!
