Building brighter futures through specialist education, training and care.
We’re The Carr Fenton Foundation, a charity supporting children, young people and adults with additional needs. As champions of Deaf education, British Sign Language and specialist SEND provision, we’re here to help everyone reach their potential.
195 years of history shaping
brighter futures.
For almost two centuries, we’ve been proud to stand alongside children and young people, helping them to learn, grow and thrive. Today, we’re one Foundation with five unique specialist services. Each has its own focus, but together we’re united by a shared purpose: giving everyone the chance to achieve on their own terms.
We’re building on our heritage as Doncaster Deaf Trust to create a modern Foundation for the future – one that joins the dots between education, community and care.
