Deafroots
Deafroots is dedicated to empowering deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, particularly those from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities.
Our strategic goals include:
- Expanding Employment Opportunities: We strive to enhance employment support services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, collaborating with employers to improve recruitment practices and workplace environments.
- Addressing Social Isolation: We aim to develop lasting solutions to combat social isolation within the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, emphasizing volunteerism and community-based initiatives.
- Improving Access to Public Services: We work closely with public service providers to increase the number of British Sign Language (BSL) trained staff and are developing a social enterprise to provide BSL-trained translators.
