On top of this, there are plans in place for a variety of leisure activities for the whole group to take part in. The Deaf Centre is well-equipped, safe and welcoming, and a very accessible venue for people with disabilities, so an ideal base for sessions. “Explore” aims to promote independence, boost social, work and decision-making skills while building confidence and encouraging self-advocacy.
