About Hands2Vision
Supporting Communication, Independence and Equal Opportunities
Hands2Vision provides professional Communicator-Guide and Tactile British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreting services for Deafblind individuals.
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to live independently, make their own choices and participate fully in society.
Our services are designed to reduce communication and accessibility barriers while respecting each individual’s needs, preferences and personal goals.
We support Deafblind people in accessing everyday activities, connecting with others and enjoying greater independence.
Who We Are
Putting Deafblind People First
Hands2Vision was established with a commitment to improving access, communication and participation for Deafblind individuals.
We understand that combined sight and hearing loss can affect how people communicate, access information and navigate different environments.
However, we also recognise that every Deafblind person is unique.
Our approach is based on listening to individuals, understanding their communication preferences and providing support that respects their independence and dignity.
We aim to create positive experiences by helping people access the activities, services and opportunities that are important to them.
Our Vision
A Society Without Communication Barriers
Our vision is a society where Deafblind people have equal rights, opportunities and choices within both Deaf and hearing communities.
We believe Deafblind individuals should be able to participate fully in everyday life without facing unnecessary barriers because of their sensory loss.
Everyone should have the freedom to make their own decisions, develop relationships, access information and enjoy meaningful experiences.
Hands2Vision works towards this vision by providing high-quality communication and guiding support that promotes equality, independence and inclusion.
Our Mission
Making Everyday Life More Accessible
Our mission is to support Deafblind individuals through professional, reliable and person-centred Communicator-Guide and Tactile BSL Interpreting services.
We aim to:
- Improve access to communication and information.
- Support independence and personal choice.
- Reduce barriers to everyday activities.
- Encourage participation in Deaf and hearing communities.
- Respect individual communication preferences.
- Promote dignity, confidence and inclusion.
We believe effective support should empower individuals rather than make decisions on their behalf.
Our Values
Independence
We believe everyone should have the freedom to make their own choices and maintain control over their lives.
Equality
Deafblind individuals deserve equal access to services, opportunities and community participation.
Respect
We recognise and value each person’s identity, communication preferences, experiences and individual needs.
Communication
Accessible communication is essential for understanding information, expressing opinions and making informed decisions.
Inclusion
We support opportunities for Deafblind people to participate in social, cultural and community activities.
Person-Centred Support
We understand that no two individuals have exactly the same needs. Our services are tailored to each person’s requirements.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
Communication That Works for You
Accessibility is at the heart of everything we do.
Deafblind people use different communication methods depending on their individual needs and preferences.
We recognise the importance of understanding how each person prefers to communicate and ensuring that appropriate support is arranged.
Our services aim to make communication and information more accessible, helping individuals participate confidently in everyday situations.
We believe communication should always respect the individual’s independence, dignity and personal choices.
