Current challenges for deaf people

Arnold notes that mainstream venues like cafes often have poor acoustics inside. Many deaf individuals feel like outsiders even when they are not sitting outside. She explains that nowhere in London is specifically designed for her needs.

Campaign goals and principles

The initiative aims to build or adapt a building using DeafSpace architectural guidelines. This project would provide a co-working and cultural space for the community. Arnold wants to change the current lack of dedicated centres for Deaf arts in the UK.
