1 in 3 adults in the UK – including your constituents – are deaf or have hearing loss. 67% of them often feel excluded from many aspects of public life.
Help change this as a parliamentary representative by using your voice to address the issues which matter to our communities, and by being deaf aware when engaging with your constituents.
