We did it!! With the help of the brilliant participants over the 2 days of #WeyAyeDeafFestival, the huge signing hands sculpture is complete. Decorated with paintings, drawings, writing, hearing aids etc, this piece is a collective statement of d/Deaf positivity-we love it!

What a fantastic day it has been. We've started to work with participants on the giant signing hands. We will be back tomorrow to finish them off. It was lovely to see Wey Aye Deaf Festival . 🖐🖐🎨

Some brilliant clay work made by families on Day 3 of our October Half Term activities at @wolvesASAN today.
We think parents/guardians have secretly enjoyed this session as much as the children!

Thanks to ASAN for the booking, we're looking forward to the Christmas sessions.

Here's an innovative way of creating autumnal seed art - and some ghoulishly good tin can monsters!

This powerful clip from @WaterlooRoad shows what can happen when a deaf pupil starts school without appropriate support in place.

Every deaf child should have access to the support they need to thrive – no matter their type or level of deafness, or how they communicate.

Such a great day yesterday at @pridewton
I loved performing on the Village Stage particularly with @Gaz_Craft providing BSL on our original song 'Two Worlds' with the audience 'clapping' in sign language. Then watching the other fantastic acts on the Plaza Stage 🏳️‍🌈❤️🎤😍💪🏻👌🏻🤟🏻
