Drop-ins
The Project facilitates a number of drop-ins for the deaf community.
- British Sign Language (BSL) Drop-in - takes place once a month at Community House and is for BSL users. All communication at these sessions is in BSL.
Volunteer for us!
Our Drop-Ins offer opportunities for our excellent volunteers to enhance their own BSL and other
skills enabling them to further their own abilities which can help towards employment in the deaf field.
