We’re two deaf sisters who has a dream...

As a member of the deaf community my sister and I have identified that there is a social need for a deaf food truck that provides a safe space, and learning centre, for the deaf community.

The deaf community is underrepresented and it can often be difficult securing employment if you are deaf.

I believe that the The Deaf chefs will not only provide the local community with a vibrant and educational space, it will allow pathways for young people that are deaf or come from a vulnerable LGBTQ backgrounds. With the staff being qualified in British Sign Language (BSL) this will allow an exciting and educational space for the community to learn in a natural environment.

Not only will the The Deaf Chefs provide ethically sourced coffees and teas, it will provide a range of healthy food, protein, vegetarian and vegan focussing on street food cuisine that is locally sourced.

The Deaf chef will provide a safe social hub for the community and allow an array of ethnic backgrounds who are deaf to come together, socialise, and learn.

We want to provide apprenticeship schemes for younger adults. The Deaf chef will provide official BSL classes allowing the BSL community to grow and increase the number of people practicing and understanding BSL.

Your dontations will help us kick start the bussiness and enable us to fullfil our dream in this project. Please see The Deaf Chef on all social media platforms to see how your donation has contrubited to the bussiness. There is a lot of work to be done -

- caravan paint and body work. (Completed, thanks to all your donations <3)

-Website design.

-Kitchen equitment.

-We need a Van.

The list goes on...

Thank you for your contribution however big or small, every little helps getting this food truck on the road and The Deaf Chef at an event near you! The Deaf Chef will be more than a food truck; it’s a social hub, a home, a sense of belonging.
