Lanarkshire Deaf Hub

Lanarkshire Deaf Hub was awarded £141,110.40 in June 2026 to run their project for 36 months

empowerHER addresses the dual inequality of disability and gender by empowering Deaf Women and Girls across Lanarkshire and surrounding regions. Lanarkshire Deaf Hub will deliver accessible education, skills training, and mentoring programmes designed to build confidence, independence, and self management capacity. The programme will take place within deaf and BSL communities and outreach settings, creating safe spaces where participants can learn together, share experiences, and develop practical tools to manage health, education, volunteering, and employment challenges. Delivery will combine workshops on digital literacy, employability, volunteering, and leadership with peer mentoring and role model campaigns. Advocacy and self management skills will be embedded early, enabling participants to navigate health and social care systems effectively.
