| Recipient Org: Description | Deaf Links is a co-production organisation which was set up by deaf and sensory impaired people across Tayside in 2009 as an organisation that truly meets their needs and involves them in all aspects of service planning and development. 80% of our Board of Trustees are people with lived experience of Deafness or sensory impairment. Their vision is to develop services, activities and learning that will empower them to become equal, independent and active members of the communities in which they live. They have been unhappy for many years with what they consider as traditional oppressive and paternalistic services, disadvantage and inequality in accessing services or information, and exclusion and isolation from activities and communities designed for a hearing, sighted world. Our base, Tayside Deaf Hub Community Centre is in Dundee and hosts our services, activities, social groups, social enterprises and community cafe. Deaf Links provides advocacy, advice, information, learning opportunities, employability, volunteering and support to local deaf and sensory impaired people, championing their rights to equal access to services/information and raising awareness within communities locally and nationally. We are in the process of developing a dedicated advocacy service for Deaf women and girls who have experience violence or abuse in any form. To fund core staff and operational costs, and supplement any shortfall in project funding: we deliver Deaf and sensory Awareness training to agencies, businesses and community groups; provide BSL Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Courses to individuals or agencies/employers; provide lipreading classes; provide a communication support booking service; rent room space within the community centre for training, meetings, social activities, family celebrations, sports clubs, dancing etc; operated a community café offering volunteering and employability opportunities; provide external catering for Dundee City Council?s staff training and other events; and operate a charity shop offering volunteering and employability opportunities; operate a Social Supermarket to provide a no-stigma environment for all to by affordable food whilst reducing food waste. Alongside ensuring the smooth operation of our organisation, staff, services, social enterprises and funding, our CEO is involved at strategic level locally and nationally to influence policy, challenge disadvantage and improve social inclusion for deaf and sensory impaired people across Tayside and Scotland. This is achieved through active membership of community planning partnerships, health and social care strategic planning, parliamentary cross party groups, national steering groups and partnership working with a wide range of national and local agencies to achieve lasting change. |
