Goodricke Appeal Fund, The
The Goodricke Appeal Fund was established in December 1983 by an Ear, Nose and Throat Consultant at York Hospital. Several ENT Consultants and doctors have had a very close connection with the Fund ever since. They could see the need to provide the latest electronic equipment to help deaf children as soon as they were diagnosed. Unfortunately, such prompt help was usually not available through the Education Authority or Health Service.
