Our Work

We promote Deaf and Disabled people’s equality and inclusion in three main ways:

Our campaigns and policy work enables London’s Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations (DDPOs) to have a strong, collective and influential voice on issues that affect DDPOs and Deaf and Disabled people
We work to raise awareness and understanding of disabling barriers and how they can be removed, by campaigning & lobbying politicians and decision makers and getting involved in public debate

Our 100% subsidised, accessible, bespoke Support and Training services build the skills, knowledge, capacity and sustainability of London DDPOs
We run a range of capacity building training covering; fundraising and bid writing, effective management, campaigning, marketing and communications, making your organisation more accessible and more
We provide business and organisational development support, including one-to-one business and financial advice
We manage and support partnerships – bringing DDPOs together to pool resources, share ideas and bid for contracts and access new funding streams
We offer a range of DDPO networks and peer support opportunities
We develop bespoke resources for DDPOs and signpost to wider sources of information and support

We are passionate advocates of the value and role of DDPOs in achieving equality and inclusion
We work with policy makers and decision makers to raise awareness of our sector
We support DDPOs to capture and evidence their unique value and provide support that increases Deaf and Disabled people’s involvement, influence and leadership within DDPOs and the wider community.
We currently provide services and support to over 90 DDPOs and networks in London and work with sister DDPOs across the UK as part of the Reclaiming Our Futures Alliance (ROFA)
