Full Communication is Important for Deaf People
A Vision by Femaura Social Enterprise Ltd – Deaf-Led Since 2008
Femaura Social Enterprise Ltd has proudly served the community since 2008, ensuring that Deaf people have full, barrier-free access to communication, education, and empowerment. As a Deaf-led organisation, our mission is to break down the barriers that separate the Deaf and Hearing worlds — and build bridges based on respect, equality, and shared understanding.
We believe that full communication access is a human right, not a luxury.
🤝 Our Ethical Promise: Confidentiality & Cultural Understanding
Trust is at the heart of our work. All information shared with us is treated with the highest level of confidentiality, protected under formal agreements. We also recognise that many individuals and organisations may not be fully aware of Deaf cultural norms and sensitivities.
That’s why Femaura not only protects information, but also educates others — offering context, cultural guidance, and deeper insight to ensure that all communication is respectful, complete, and inclusive.
📢 Challenging the System, Empowering Deaf Lives
From our perspective, society continues to fail in meeting the needs of Deaf people. Too often, systems are designed with the assumption that everyone can hear or lipread — which marginalises Deaf individuals and limits access to full participation.
We take an active role in educating government bodies, public services, and organisations, reinforcing the truth that:
Deaf people can do anything — when given access and opportunity.
✋ BSL Learning for Real-World Communication
At Femaura, we offer welcoming, culturally rich British Sign Language (BSL) courses for all learners. Whether you are new to sign language or want to refine your skills, our courses are designed to support and inspire.
We offer:
- A 5-day taster course over 5 weeks – ideal for beginners
- Fun and relaxed learning environments
- Tutorials and structured support for exam preparation or confidence building
- Exposure to a variety of BSL topics and communication styles
- Deaf tutors who guide, support, and enrich the learning journey
Our aim is to help students feel confident, culturally aware, and able to engage with the Deaf community respectfully and effectively.
📘 BSL Translation & Access to Work
We offer professional BSL translation services between English and British Sign Language, ensuring that Deaf clients can access all essential materials in their own language, without distortion or oversimplification.
If you are a Deaf employee or manager, you can often use your Access to Work funding to request BSL translations and support through us. We are happy to assist you with planning and communication access needs to ensure you’re fully informed in BSL.
🌍 Our Vision
We envision a world where full communication is available to every Deaf person — where information is clear, complete, and delivered in a way that respects cultural identity and individual dignity.
By choosing Femaura, you are not only receiving professional services, but also supporting a Deaf-led movement for lasting change.
