We celebrated our 20th Anniversary with a fun-packed weekend in Edinburgh.
The visit of Deaf UK 50+ to Edinburgh marked a momentous occasion, spanning two days of inspiring experiences and celebratory milestones.

Day 1:
A lively Quiz Night unfolded at Deaf Action’s Blackwood bar, setting the tone for an engaging weekend ahead.
