Impact

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Impacting communities

Edinburgh Deaf Festival is the first festival of its kind in the UK. Our festival emerged to bridge the accessibility gap in Edinburgh’s vibrant festival season. Deaf culture has a proud place in Scotland in terms of language, history and heritage. As home to Deaf Action, the world’s first deaf organisation, it feels right that Edinburgh should celebrate, promote and raise visibility of deaf culture. Our vision is to integrate Edinburgh Deaf Festival into the Festival City, delivering an inclusive event that celebrates deaf culture whilst welcoming mainstream audiences into our world. The impact of the festival is profound, increasing deaf awareness in society, whilst raising the profile of deaf performers and artists.

Festival access for all

We want deaf people to have full access to all that Edinburgh’s festival season has to offer. This shouldn’t just mean going to interpreted performance, but instead, seeing a BSL performance, curated and performed by deaf people. Hearing festival-goers will find our performances accessible through BSL/English interpretation, immersing themselves in a new world of our rich deaf culture.

Our approach

Our Mission

Our mission is to make sure all young people and children get all the support they need, when they need it, no matter what it is.

Whether it is a reassuring conversation, financial help, education, professional training, or simply the assurance that they are not alone, we will make sure that everyone gets support that meets them where they’re at as quickly as possible.

Our Vision

We want to build a world where no child or youth feels alone and gets every possible help they need as soon as possible.

Our entire team wants to see a world where every youngster struggling in any way feels able to reach out and has people who’ll help them with education, jobs, and more. We want to spread out in every region so we’ll be reachable to all.
