If you see someone with any of the signs or symptoms of a stroke, remember to Act F.A.S.T.
F – Face (has their face fallen on one side?)
A – Arms (can they raise both arms and keep them there?)
S – Speech (is it slurred?)
T – Time to call 999

Speech: Is their speech slurred? Time: To call 999 if you see any single one of these signs" The text on the bottom of the image reads "When stroke strikes, Act F.A.S.T."

Powerful words from Deafblind UK members breaking stigmas and assumptions, letting the world know that sure, being deafblind is a part of who they are, but it does not define or stop them from living full and passionate lives💜

To achieve our vision for deafblind people and their #RightToBeSeenAndHeard, deafblindness must be normalised and understood by all.
We fully support, advocate for, and believe in the Nordic definition of deafblindness.
#DeafblindAwarenessWeek #DefiningDeafblindness
ALT Image of staff and members sitting around a campfire in a wooded area. Below the image is black text which reads: Deafblindness is a combined vision and hearing impairment of such severity that it is hard for the impaired senses to compensate for each other. This, deafblindness is a disability. Above the image is the DBAW logo, and the hashtag #RightToBeSeenAndHeard

Have you been keeping up with the Euros?
First impressions can be misleading, you might think people who are deafblind can't enjoy the football with their friends, but we caught up with Richard, who always has a great time during the game!

Hands-on signing is one of the ways that you can communicate with someone who is deafblind.
Check out this demo of the deafblind manual alphabet from Ben this #DeafblindAwarenessWeek, and how you can book a deafblind interpreter on our website: bit.ly/3JtjbyQ

Marie shares her experience of being diagnosed with Diabetes. Deaf people often don't have the same access to health information as hearing people. Even after a diagnosis, without an explanation in BSL, it can be hard to get the information we need about our health! @DiabetesUK
