Exeter Deaf Academy is building an inspiring new Academy, designed with
and for Deaf children with capacity to take up to 180 students in its
pre-school, primary school, secondary school and college. It has full planning permission on the new
site in Ringswell Avenue which is due to open in September 2016.
Richard Pike, Brewin Dolphin Head
of Charities South and South West says: “The Deaf Academy was selected as
our first ever ‘charity of the year’ and commenced in January 2013. The relationship has not only been about
raising much needed funds, but also awareness for this local worthy charity and
all of the Brewin Dolphin staff have got fully involved. We launched the charity of the year by
organising a visit for ten Deaf Academy students to meet the Exeter Chief’s
first team at Sandy Park which included a guided tour and question and answer
session which proved very successful. I am delighted to hand-over a cheque for
£2,500 which will go towards buying outdoor play equipment for the primary
students when they move to their exciting new academy.”
Jonathan Farnhill, Chief Executive
says: “We have been really pleased
with the support from the local business community this year. Brewin Dolphin
has been one of the early supporters of the new Academy and we will be looking
for the support of more local businesses over the next two years as the plans
take shape and we launch our fundraising campaign next year.”
