The Lisa project is a Comminity interest Company that was set up in memory of Lisa Mascarenhas. Lisa was a fun-loving, full of life character who always strived to make everyone happy. A lot of the Deaf community will know her from her hilarious Deafland Vlogs. Her family and friends knew her as someone who was taken away too soon at just 32 years old. In her memory we strive to improve deaf awareness and bring people from all different backgrounds together through signing and singing.

These connections then allow for meaningful relationships amongst these communities, improving their wellbeing, preventing isolation but most importantly creating a more empathetic and inclusive world.

Natasha was Lisa's sister . As a qualified language teacher with over two decades of experience, she feels very much at home teaching sign language to people of all ages and backgrounds. Having sung from the age of 7 years, Natasha knows all too well the benefits of singing on emotional wellbeing and self regualtion. Her psychology degree showed her that the mere exposure of something new is enough to make people less fearful and more welcoming of it. This is what she hopes to achieve with The Lisa Project Programmes. A world that embraces sign language.

The choir provides a safe space for children to think and talk about themselves and their emotions. The singing and signing then gives them an opportunity to release those emotions in a positive, healthy way, whilst also learning Sign Language. This is aimed at primary school children and can be delivered in schools.
