We support deaf people to train as BSL tutors to deliver Family BSL classes, Deaf Awareness Training and BSL courses, significantly benefiting deaf children and their families and increasing understanding and inclusion in the wider hearing community. Our BSL courses, available to families, businesses, and members of the public, bridge communication gaps and promote community understanding. Funds raised by our Team in the BEdford Running Festival enables us to offer limited numbers of free places for deaf attendees.
Our CPD-accredited courses help professionals fulfill their required CPD hours, and anyone interested can attend.
