Wow, we’re at 2,999 followers. Incredible! How did we start? June 2016, we decided to set up a deaf-led therapy service, via zoom & f2f. Why? No other service was doing online remote therapies, however it made sense to reach deaf people in places that no one else could.
Interest increased, reviews were good, and NHS & health boards took notice of #DeafTherapiesWork #DeafTherapy Awards were given #bestdeafbusinessstartup #DisabilityEnterpreneurWinner @SteliosPhilFdn £30,000 prize money @LeonardCheshire @ndawards #2deafwalk injection of £30,000.
What did this do? Raise our profile, sustainability & trust developed. We delivered low-cost & accessible therapies to hundreds of deaf people all over the UK. @royaldeaf doubled the £30,000 from #2DeafWalk to £60,000 to create #TalkMore BSL helpline.

Zoe Zaremba’s death was investigated by a coroner this week, and the many injustices she suffered were recorded.

It’s a hollow kind of victory when the truth only comes out after someone dies, but it still matters that the truth prevails over lies.
Zoe fought so hard for justice during her life, and the fight goes on, galvanised by an inquest which recorded just how badly she was failed.

The fact that the mental health trust was only properly held to account after Zoe’s death highlights a significant problem.
Being believed, and getting justice, can be incredibly difficult if you happen to be #ActuallyAutistic
