We are proud to have been researching and piloting a range of deaf accessible projects in the past few years. We currently run a number of our *projects and *classes with BSL communication support and have a deaf ‘BSL Engagement officer’ who is supporting us in developing a strong link with the deaf community.
We offer a range of BSL introduction courses and our staff and volunteers are learning BSL level 1.
Please keep an eye on our future BSL courses and BSL accessible projects.
