Welcome to Deaf-initely Women

We are a charity led by deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing women, proudly serving others like us across Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire – and beyond.

At Deaf-initely Women, we lift each other up. Together, we build emotional strength to face challenges in our work, families, and daily lives. We offer opportunities to grow in confidence, gain new knowledge, and develop skills and experience that support independence and wellbeing.

We welcome all deaf and hard of hearing women aged 16 and over, regardless of the level of deafness or communication needs.

Together, we are stronger. Always.

“Thank you for arranging these wonderful events. It means I am able to feel part of a large community safely in my home!”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would love to have more opportunities to create, learn new craft skills, other subjects and advanced levels as the options for myself as a deafblind person is very far and few. Just having that chance has been great as it has made a difference to my mental health”

“It was amazing. Great for all of us to build confidence around horses, different sizes. It was emotional for me I feel I have got my life back. I enjoyed it so much that I didn`t want the day to end.”

“I am less anxious being in a group of deaf ladies discussing forums as I know I won’t be judged....people think because I have speech I can’t be severely/ profoundly deaf!.... and can follow the conversation captions and sign language is available. I am therefore more receptive to the information being given.”
