School of Health & Wellbeing

Explore British Sign Language (BSL) and find out more about deaf/Deaf culture, supported by an experienced BSL teacher. These monthly sessions aim to develop BSL skills, giving you the confidence to communicate with a deaf or hard of hearing person.

Learn basic BSL skills or just practice in a relaxed, friendly environment. Whether you are a beginner, already know a few signs, or are a skilled signer, everyone is welcome.

Please book on Eventbrite.
