“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”

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

“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.”
