Making your local venues more accessible
When your local spaces aren’t as inclusive or accessible as they should be, we know how much this can affect your confidence and everyday life. That’s why we work with businesses (great and small!) to help them become more deafblind friendly. Nobody should have to miss out on opportunities because they have a sight or hearing loss, and we’re always happy to talk with businesses and find practical, accessible solutions.
If you’re a business seeking advice about becoming more deafblind friendly, please click here to see the professional support we offer.
