A great opportunity for us all to do our bit to combat loneliness and isolation amongst the older generation of deaf people

An interesting article on Deaf spaces and design which enhance collaboration and optimise communication with others
#Deaf #architect Jeffrey Mansfield explains how “spaces shape #Deafness, and how Deafness shapes our world.” He claims that Deaf-centric spaces are created to optimize the sensory experience of its users and promote feelings of #inclusion. #design #a11y ow.ly/Fn1q50C3ZC9

Stop using hearing people from deaf organisations to go onto tv shows to talk about the challenges that deaf people face during #COVID19.. use deaf people to talk about the challenges THEY face. We are right here.

We are NOT against masks being worn to protect our community from COVID-19. Instead we urge the UK Government to lead the way, in collaboration with others, to produce transparent masks that are accessible and readily available for all. #Access #facemasks #NothingForUsWithoutUs
