National Deaf Children’s Society – Blackbaud Cloud Migration

About the Client

The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting deaf children, young people, and their families. Their mission is to break down barriers, provide life-changing support, and ensure every deaf child has the same opportunities as any other child. With thousands of members and supporters across the UK, NDCS depends on secure, scalable, and reliable digital systems to manage engagement, fundraising, and communication.
