  My name is Martha and want to learn sign language as I hope to work in charity work. I would also like to learn so I can communicate better and support inclusion in whatever I do. I really enjoy learning and even though I am finding it a bit tricky I find it very rewarding!

  Hi! My name is Kate & I've always been interested in BSL signing. I only ever got level 1 years ago. Over the years I've tried level 2 a few times but always bottled out before the exam. I'm looking for someone who I can practice with on a regular basis to gain my confidence. I would love to have a buddy who I feel comfy signing with. I hope someone may be willing to join me.

  Hi I have started to learn BSL as a good friend of mine is deaf and I also want to be more inclusive in both my working setting and in my role in Scouts (Leader for 18 years). It is not east to learn at my age but I am going to give it my best and with Wilfred's help I am sure I can pick it up.

  I want to learn sign language to develop a new skill that improves inclusivity in the UK. I remember learning the sign alphabet in school and I wish I continued to pursue it, so I am making the choice now to expand my knowledge on sign language and hopefully connect with people who use sign in the future.
