Help open doors to connection, learning and opportunity

Everyone deserves the opportunity to have their voice heard, share their knowledge and be part of conversations that shape their lives and communities.

For people who are deafblind, blind, low vision, Deaf or hard of hearing attending a conference, gathering or event can open doors to incredible opportunities. It can mean connecting with others who share similar experiences, learning from new ideas, sharing knowledge, influencing change and building relationships that last well beyond the event itself.

But getting there isn't always easy

People who experience a combination of vision or auditory loss or impairment can face additional barriers to participating in events, including the costs of accessible communication support, specialist equipment, personal assistance, accessible transport and other arrangements needed to make participation possible. These additional costs can put opportunities that should be available to everyone out of reach.

Your donation will help reduce financial barriers and create opportunities for people who are deafblind to:

Connect with others and build lasting relationships.

Share experiences, knowledge and perspectives.

Learn, grow and access new opportunities.

Strengthen self-determination and have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives.

Represent and contribute to the wider deafblind community.

Be part of conversations, networks and movements that might otherwise be inaccessible.
