The Shepherd Centre 2026

Get LOUD for kids with hearing loss just like ME!

Let’s get LOUD to empower kids with hearing loss to connect, communicate and thrive in hearing world! 🌏 

Did you know? Hearing loss is the most common condition diagnosed at birth in Australia and 1 in 300 children have permanent hearing loss by 5 years old.
I was born with Moderate Sensorineural Hearing loss and have been wearing hearing aids since 8 weeks old! And I’ve been lucky to attend The Shepherd Center for the last two years, I love it there. 

This LOUD SHIRT DAY it doesn’t matter if you’re getting  LOUD with us in person or just donate online - it all helps raise funds to provide life-changing support for us children with hearing loss and our families. 💛💜💙🧡💛🩷
