We aim to make West Cumbria a better place for everyone.

As well as offering BSL courses, we also offer support to the deaf community in the form of our Deaf Walking group.
Alongside our regular projects we offer a selection of one off events, such as Family Sign Days, and holiday parties.
“Louise, I thought you’d like to know that thanks to the basic sign language skills I learned from you and a bit I already had that I was able to jumble through a conversation in the ambulance with a deaf, mute patient. I was able to explain using signs and the alphabet as well as gain vital medical information. Thank you all so much! I can’t wait to find the right time to book onto the accredited course.”
“I took the Basic Introduction into BSL as I found it interesting and wanted to learn more. Hazel and Louise put everyone at ease in class, and we all worked at a pace to suit us individually. Lots of key areas were taught from colours, animals, clothes, foods and by the end of the course we could put together a full descriptive conversation in BSL of the subjects we learnt”
“An excellently run training course, would definitely recommend.”
“Enjoyed the Basic Sign Language lessons. Friendly and enjoyable, thank you.”
