About this organisation

As a deaf-led, London-based organisation, we rally deaf Londoners around key barriers facing our community: together we:

+ Raise awareness of the barriers that exist.

+ Develop new tools and resources to challenge the injustices that reduce deaf people’s aspirations and limit their education and career paths.

+ Create opportunities and networks, across communities and space.

+ Campaign for the change that is needed if deaf people are to thrive within and contribute fully to society.

+ Support deaf individuals to aspire and succeed.

+ Deaf Unity’s Deaf Awareness, BSL training and digital resources reach our wider deaf community, across the UK.

Our initiatives ensure that leaving school is a gateway to endless possibilities; that deaf people enjoy the same rights and opportunities as others when entering the workforce that barriers to progressing in the workplace are challenged and overcome.

Our work in London’s deaf community fosters a richer, connected life, while Deaf Unity Deaf Role Models provide inspiration and guidance.

If you would like Deaf Unity to support your charity with Deaf Awareness training, BSL Taster workshops, BSL Courses or consultation, please do get in touch through our website.
