Derby MP Event

Are you a deaf person in Derby who wants help from your local MP?

On Friday 17th October at 9:30am, two MPs from Derby – Catherine Atkinson MP and Baggy Shanker MP – will be visiting the Derby Deaf Club and they want to meet you. All conversations will be confidential.

You may remember that we had planned to host a meeting with Derby MPs in June, but sadly we had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances.

I am pleased that we have a new date, Friday 17 October 2025.

As the deaf health charity, we want to use this opportunity to discuss deaf healthcare but you can discuss any issue you want.

We are looking for deaf people living with Derby North or Derby South constituencies who want to have a face to face conversation with you MP.

BSL/English interpreters will be provided.
