About Lanarkshire Deaf Hub

Lanarkshire Deaf Hub (operating as Lanarkshire Deaf Club SCIO) is the award-winning, leading, and solely deaf-led charity supporting individuals with hearing loss and deafness across Lanarkshire and the West of Scotland.

Since 2003, we’ve been connecting communities and championing accessibility and inclusion. Our commitment to these values is not just a part of our mission, but a part of who we are, with a growing membership – a testament to our enduring commitment to the cause.

Our mission is to connect, empower, and enrich the lives of the deaf and BSL communities through a wide range of services, projects, programmes, and initiatives.

We work to ensure that every person, whether Deaf, Deafblind, Deafened, Hard of Hearing, Hearing Loss, or Tinnitus, or connected through families, communities, or culture, has equal access, meaningful opportunities, and a strong sense of belonging.
