The difference our Hubs make
"The Deaf hub is so important for boosting confidence and spreading positivity!"
"I'm always lonely when I'm at home, but I'm much less lonely when I go to the hub. Going to the hub gives me the opportunity to make new friends and get support."
"Going to the hubs means I get access to information that I might otherwise miss. I get useful information from the speakers, and it helps me feel more confident."
"Great fun and lovely chats"
"Being part of the community is such a nice feeling, and I'm glad that the hubs let me keep this sense of community."
"It’s so lovely to see deaf people enjoy it and have fun chatting and good laugh together."
"I had a great day out and catching up with people and chatting loads! Thank you for such a wonderful day!"
"I really enjoyed chatting"
