Deaf-led · Trauma-informed · Built from lived experience

Holding space for the hard moments

A warm welcome, in your first language

Deaf-led wellbeing support for Deaf adults navigating hard times.

Accessible, gentle, and shaped by lived experience.

Strength in Fragments CIC provides care boxes, creative wellbeing kits, grounding tools, and calm community spaces.

Designed for people who need slowness and space to breathe.

A small organisation with a wide heart.

Deaf-led and trauma-informed, our work grows from lived experience; the overwhelm, the quiet struggles, and the gentle moments of connection that help us feel held again.

You don't need to explain yourself to be welcome here.

We are currently adding BSL videos across the website to make our content even more accessible. Thank you for your patience while we update.

What we're building

A Deaf-led CIC, growing gently.

Strength in Fragments is a Deaf-led Community Interest Company. We take a trauma-informed, accessibility-first approach, and accessibility and inclusion are built into everything we do - from BSL and plain English to sensory-safe spaces.

Wellbeing Retreats

Gentle, BSL-led retreats in nature, starting with our 2027 retreat at The Quaives.

Care Boxes

In development - accessible comfort boxes for Deaf people affected by cancer and mental wellbeing challenges, with a pilot planned for early 2027.

Mobile wellbeing

Future mobile wellbeing initiatives, including our campervan project, bringing calm spaces closer to communities.

What we offer

Gentle support, in many shapes.

Care Boxes

Hand-packed boxes of comfort, sent quietly to those in difficult seasons.

Creative Kits

Small, sensory kits for creative wellbeing, no skill needed, only curiosity.

Grounding Tools

Sensory tools and gentle techniques for emotional regulation.

Wellbeing Gatherings

Calm, accessible spaces where people come together for gentle yoga, creative activities, grounding tools, and supportive connection.

Resources

Grounding guides, BSL resources, and sensory-safe practice.

Accessibility

BSL-first, plain English, sensory-safe design.

If today feels heavy

You do not have to be alone with it.
