From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The experience was engaging, inspiring, and unforgettable for both our children and the adults who attended. Seeing the fire engines up close, learning about the equipment, and discovering more about the incredible work firefighters do every day was absolutely fascinating.
The children were thrilled — their excitement and curiosity shone throughout the visit — and the adults enjoyed it just as much. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn, explore, and connect in such an inclusive and supportive environment.
We are incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity. Thank you for your time, enthusiasm, and dedication in making the visit so special for everyone involved. It is a day we will remember and talk about for a long time to come!
With sincere thanks,
Grampian Deaf Children’s Society 💛
