This programme is aimed at registered charities and CICs which are led by and working for Deaf and Disabled people. Their organisation will work directly with Deaf and Disabled people over the long term to support them to have more choice and control over their lives, access their rights and entitlements and challenge the barriers they face.
This funder uses the term ‘Disabled people’ to refer to the following groups of people: people with physical impairment, visual impairment, hearing impairment, people with long term health conditions, people with invisible impairment, people with learning difficulties, people who experience mental distress and people who are neurodivergent.
The term ‘Deaf people’ refers to people whose first language is British Sign Language.
It is anticipated that 42 organisations will receive funding.
The Foundation can also provide up to £500 of accessibility support to enable groups to apply for this programme, including BSL interpreters, language translation, scribes and dyslexia software.
The Foundation will also offer grant recipients a range of tailored additional support to help them to strengthen, be more resilient and develop further.
