About Us

Hands That Talk was set up in early 2000 as a direct response to the enormous gap in provision for those people in our community who are either deaf or hard of hearing. Hands That Talk is a Registered Charity, peopled by volunteers from all sections of the community and since its establishment, has grown to be the largest Deaf Community in Ireland.

The project began as a small local initiative in Dungiven Community Resource Centre but such were the demands on its resources that it had soon to relocate to larger premises. A further move is planned to a much larger purpose-built centre on a prime site provided by Limavady Borough Council . This offer of a site by the Council is recognition of the ever-increasing demand for the service provided by Hands That Talk, the considerable achievements it has made over the years and the dedication of the project members.
