A man is giving the thumbs up in British Sign LanguageDeaf Awareness Week runs from 5th to 10th May and we are celebrating the week by sharing lots of interesting information about Deaf culture, history and messages from staff, and people we support all week on our social media channels.

On Monday we will be sharing information around Deaf history and Deaf culture.

On Tuesday we have a message from Clare Burgess, Chief Executive on how our charity works with, and supports people from the Deaf community. She will be introducing and ending her video in British Sign Language.

Later in the week we have a couple of videos from two people we support that attend our Deaf Cafes and here they will be talking about current issues that they feel strongly about.

Staff from the charity will also be getting together all week for lunch and learn activities to find out more about Deaf culture, watch a Deaf comedy and taking part in a fun quiz.
