One year ago today was day one of the first Derby Signfest, how time flies. Future festival plans currently on hold but we will return!

Great opportunity with our partners at @DerbyTheatre

Watch the #BSL intro to the #DerbyCAN Artist Training Programme.

We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply and are committed to providing opportunities for people of colour, #Deaf or disabled people and people who identify as trans and gender diverse.

Hearing/Non signing followers. Ever said “I want to learn BSL, I just don’t have the time to commit to a weekly class” well now is your time to learn, in the comfort of your own home. FOR FREE! Also check out @thatdeafgirlkj who’s doing regular BSL videos to help people learn 👍

[DoncasterDeafTrust @DeafTrust]

We’ve launched a free online course today for people to learn level one British Sign Language. We know lots of children and young people are at home and parents are looking for ways to keep them learning. It’s a great skill to have sign up here https://t.co/OGzQUaQKW7 #bsl

@CllrJoannaWest @shakespiller Just seen this on Facebook. https://t.co/iHeNvtSeWY

@CllrJoannaWest @shakespiller This is a shame to hear. Best thing we can advise is check the signature or IBSL websites for registered centres. Or put a post of the Derby BSL practice group Facebook group who might be able to help.

@jill_derby @DerbyCC @dalsderby There is definitely a Facebook page which advertises them

@jill_derby @DerbyCC @dalsderby There is a couple of practice groups in Derby. I think they are advertised on Derby BSL Practice Group
