    18 million adults in the UK are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing. That's 1 in 3 people who could benefit from captions and subtitles in their everyday life - and 1 in 3 people who could potentially be excluded from arts and culture activities that don't provide this form of access. Some of the primary issues associated with deafness or hearing loss are loneliness and isolation. Not being able to participate in wellbeing-boosting arts and cultural events with friends and family can compound this

    We work with theatres and venues across the country to bring culture to life with captions and subtitles. Whatever is being said on stage is shown on special screens by the side of the stage, word-perfect and perfectly in time. Subtitles can be projected onto backdrops, or even viewed on your own phone. We need your support to provide more access, more often, so that everyone can take part.
