Deaf Access provides a diverse range of groups and services aimed at supporting independence and empowerment.
Advocacy is helping people to 'speak for themselves' or have a voice. We all need an advocate at some point in our lives but for different reasons. There are times when we lack confidence or do not feel able to speak for ourselves. At times like this an advocate's support may just be enough to help sort things out.
The voluntary advocates help with letter reading/writing and filling in forms, as well as offering DLA and general support for Deaf and hard of hearing people. Other services include Housing Advice, Welfare Benefits Advice, Debt Management Advice and BSL translation of documents such as utility bills.
