What the charity does

Deafinitions was established for deaf people BY deaf people. Our motto is "Empower, Explain, Educate" in that by providing visual, accessible information and opportunities for involvement with clear, grassroots explanations, deaf people become better educated about important issues in their lives; such as health, employment, financial issues, etc.; and be empowered to make more informed choices.
