Happy Deaf Awareness Week 2024!
This year Deaf Awareness Week runs 6 – 12 May. Set up by the UK Council on Deafness with an aim to increase the awareness of the challenges the deaf community faces and educate others on how they can support them. This year the theme is celebrating Love and Trust.

As British Sign Language users and members of the Deaf Community, our Deaf Led team know first-hand the issues faced by Deaf people and the best advice and support to give to overcome these. We provide Deaf-led advocacy, peer support and information along with monthly wellbeing walks and groups. We also provide BSL counselling.
Our Business Accessibility Services include Deaf Awareness training. Helping organisations to become more Deaf aware, our training is designed and delivered by trainers with lived experience.
