ACTION AREAS OF
RADIO FOR THE DEAF
In any area of service, no one person, group or organisation can do it alone.
Over the past year we have developed new and strategic partnerships with persons and organisations for the sole purpose of helping the Deaf attain their fullest potential.
We respect the tremendous work already being done by Deaf and hearing people to promote Deaf rights.
​
We hope that our particular skills, networks and experiences will be seen as a resource to be added to what is already available in support of the Deaf.
