Surdi has been established since 2015, became a CIC in Dec 2016. Surdi CIC was formed in Brighton and Hove due to the lack of support and opportunities for Deaf people in the community. 

We strongly believe in a Deaf centred approach and our aim is to ensure Deaf, Deafened, Deafblind and Hard of Hearing individuals have equal access in all aspects of their daily life.

For supporting Deaf people to feel empowered, ensuring their culture and rights are protected, Reducing barriers and isolation. 

We aim to change Sussex communities’ perspective on Deafness and BSL culture. 

To encourage deaf people in Sussex and the surrounding areas to integrate with society.

Surdi would like to make sure services offered to deaf people are what they want, matching their individual needs both short and long term.

“Empowering Deaf Voices, Inspiring Inclusion in Sussex: Bridging Communities”

We are currently collaborating with Brighton & Hove City Council and Sussex Police.
