Social Unity’s work is aimed at ensuring equal rights and opportunities for people with various forms of disabilities.

Postcode Ukraine funding has supported their ‘Safety Alphabet’ programme, making accessible versions of the collection of rules, advice, and recommendations that warn of emergency situations and provide Ukrainians with comprehensive information on actions they should take to stay safe.  These rules and advice are all the more important during this time of war.  They adapt this guidance using Ukrainian sign language (for people with hearing impairment) and record audio description for text and graphic content (for people with visual impairments), and promote the videos widely.

The project aims to reduce the information vacuum and provide independent access to vital information so they can keep themselves and their families safe.  The videos have been accessed thousands of times.

The project expands access to Ukraine’s first inclusive children’s book resource combining a printed book with Ukrainian Sign Language translation accessible through QR codes. Building on the book Ommm. The Spirit of the Irpin Forest, the initiative includes an additional print run of approximately 100 copies and a series of in-person presentations and readings for Deaf children in Odesa, Lviv and Khmelnytskyi. Events involve the author and USL interpreters and create an environment in which children can engage directly with the story, ask questions, develop vocabulary and strengthen reading skills.

The project is expected to directly reach approximately 120 people, including around 60 Deaf children aged 5–8 and approximately 60 parents, teachers and community representatives. Its wider indirect reach through libraries, educational institutions and information dissemination is estimated at up to 7,000 people. The initiative supports linguistic identity, reading culture, socialisation and cultural inclusion for Deaf children while strengthening sign-language publishing practices in Ukraine.

The project creates the first systematic and comprehensive video translation of the Constitution of Ukraine into Ukrainian Sign Language (USL), addressing a major accessibility barrier for Deaf Ukrainians. An expert team of professional USL interpreters and legal specialists translates complex legal concepts and presents the Constitution through structured videos intended for nationwide online distribution. The initiative coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The project aims to provide at least 40,000 Deaf USL users with access to the Constitution in the short term, including at least 1,000 young users, with a potential long-term digital reach of 135,000+ Deaf users. It also develops legal terminology in USL, strengthens legal awareness, creates a precedent for accessible state documents and promotes civic participation by Deaf Ukrainians.
