| Recipient Org: Description | The Centre for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People (CfD) is the only Bristol-based third-sector organisation that represents all deaf adults in the city. We support all adults who have a hearing loss, whatever the severity/age of onset. We campaign to make key services accessible to deaf people and encourage the development of deaf-led activities. (Abbreviations: HoH = hard of hearing) CfD: Provides an Equipment Service, funded by BCC, to ensure deaf people have the assistive technology that enables them to be independent. Holds regular Coffee Mornings, virtual and face-to-face. These are attended by 18 to 25 deaf people, mainly BSL-users. Recently started Coffee Mornings at the Vassall Centre for hard of hearing people. These also act as a Welcoming Space in an accessible environment. Both Coffee Mornings reduce the social isolation that many deaf people experience. Has run a number of short-term projects, e.g. Lottery-funded project (Oct 2020 to March 2021) to support deaf people in employment to manage the challenges imposed by Covid regulations. We developed peer-support so that deaf people themselves would identify the challenges in employment and support each other to find solutions. “Living with Hearing Loss in the Time of Covid”: we ran on-line workshops for HoH people to encourage them to use technology such as Zoom to join in workshops to enable them to understand their hearing loss and the effects deafness has on communication and relationships. Provides local deaf-led groups with support and funds to enable them to offer social opportunities for deaf people e.g. the Deaf Sewing Group, Little Hands (deaf parents) and the 50+ Deaf Group. Runs Deaf Equality Training that gives participants the tools to create activities and services that are inclusive of deaf people. Organisations such as Age UK, St Peter’s Hospice, and Avon and Somerset Police have attended. |
