HomeLife is A Deaf business that employs Deaf staff to support Deaf adults with learning disabilities. To support them to live as independently as possible and be included in the deaf community.
HomeLife’s independent day service in Leeds is called Openspace. We aim to create a welcoming creative learning environment that supports Deaf adults with learning disabilities. We like to think of it as social therapy where people come to meet with friends, have a good time and learn a thing or two. The things we learn break down into three categories which we call:
- Open Communication
- Open Independence
- Open Learning
Deaf EXperience Limited (DEX) is a charity which campaigns nationally to improve access to education, wellbeing and quality of life for deaf and hard of hearing young people. They support deaf young people across Yorkshire to meet other young deaf people and to share their experiences. They deliver a variety of events where deaf young people can have fun, learn something new and meet others!
The Inner East Cluster team work with schools and partners to provide targeted all year round support to children and families across the Richmond Hill, Burmantofts, Lincoln Green and Gipton neighbourhoods.
We also deliver daytime and evening parenting courses for parents and carers with children aged 5-18. We organise targeted out of school activities throughout the year and a programme of out of term time activities for children, young people and families.
Openspace, a registered CIC and non-profit, is a specialized day service for Deaf or non-verbal adults with additional needs. They provide a welcoming, creative environment focused on social therapy, helping service users develop communication skills through British Sign Language. This helps to reduce isolation, and improve health and wellbeing. Their dedicated staff empower individuals to live as independently as possible.
In 2025, the team at Open Space hope to organize a group holiday for 17 service users, many of whom have never travelled abroad. Fully supported by 9 trained staff, this experience could be life-changing, offering social connections, confidence building, and improved mental health. Some service users cannot afford this opportunity, so they are seeking funding or donations to make this dream a reality. The estimated cost is £900 per person.
“Chris, who has Cerebral Palsy, lives alone and has never been abroad. Openspace is where he feels accepted, communicating in BSL and enjoying new experiences. A holiday would be a dream come true.”
“Chloe, also with Cerebral Palsy, attends Openspace daily and has never been on holiday. A huge Leeds United fan, she’s thrilled by the idea of traveling with her friends from Openspace.”
