Share your story

We love when people share their stories with us.

It helps bridge the gap between communities and cultures. Stories help others understand deaf people’s experiences, provide tips to others going through similar situations and can inspire people to make a difference. If you have a connection to deafness or to Deaf Action, share your story with us. It helps us demonstrate the wonderful work our team do to support and celebrate deaf people.
