Enjoy Milford on Sea: Successful first British Sign Language Course

The first two groups of Milford on Sea residents have now completed the 10 week Introduction to British Sign Language Course. There were lots of smiles and people using their new found signing skills when they came together to receive their course achievement certificates this week.

The course started at the end of September 2023 and ran for 10 weeks for two groups, one on Mondays, the other on Wednesdays, with around 25 people attending.

The aim of the course was for attendees to be able to communicate more effectively with deaf, or hard of hearing people. This valuable and caring skill can enhance the lives of those you meet who are unable to hear the world around us.

New courses are due to start around February 2024. To find out more, or register your interest, please contact Nancy on: nancy@feelhear.co.uk.

Some comments from course attendees

So many thanks for giving us an insight into a world of silence. We knew nothing. Now we know a little about communicating with deaf friends and we might be able to actually help someone.

Nancy introduced us all to British Sign Language in a fun, informal way.

We have recommended the course to friends.

The course has helped me in everyday life. We need to educate the world about deafness and the struggles.

The course is easy to follow, not stressful, fun & rewarding.

Thank you Nancy for all you do for the deaf community.
