Hello All,

My name is Monty and I'm half way through BSL Level 1 at college in St Albans.

I've had enough of working in an office and am on a 6 year mission to retrain as a sign language interpreter.  I'm 38 now so still have probably 30 years of working left in me and I want to do something which contributes positively to people's lives and offers variety.

Outside of BSL I work in an office doing quotes and tenders Monday to Friday but then as a mobile DJ at weekends.  I cover all music but personally like 90s indie, classic rock, dance music and just anything which evokes a positive emotion.  I'm also a bit of a sci fi geek and a member of a Toastmasters group.

I found this site via the fingerspelling game.  

I would love to use this forum to use and develop my BSL skills so feel free to tap me up.

      Sense Holidays Volunteering

      By SenseVolunteering2019 · Posted

      Hi All,  My name is Sam Murphy and I work in the Holidays and Volunteering team at Sense. I just wanted to get in touch to share an opportunity for any members of this forum to get involved and practice their BSL skills on the way. Sense Holidays are for groups of disabled children, young people and adults who are deafblind, have multi-sensory impairments or other complex communication needs. Each holiday experience is unique as they are planned around the needs and interests of the holidaymakers. Sense Holidays take place throughout England and this year there are volunteering opportunities from July until November Sense Holidays couldn’t happen without our fantastic volunteers! As a volunteer you will be supporting a child, young person or adult as they try new things, make new connections, create memories and have fun! You’ll be part of a team making sure each break is the very best experience it can be for everyone involved. Each break is different, and could include swimming, drumming, visits to local attractions, canoeing, dry slope skiing, meals out, or nights in the pub! Volunteering on a Sense Holiday is completely free of charge and all your accommodation, food and activity expenses will be covered. If you’d be interested in volunteering on our 2019 Holidays then please complete our application form by clicking Apply Now.  Here you can let us know which weeks you’re available, what kind of age group you’d like to work with and what you’d like to get out of volunteering. For our summer holidays, we will invite you to a Preparation Day on May 18th at Touchbase Pears in Selly Oak, Birmingham. It is vital that you can attend this day if you want to volunteer on a summer holiday. We can reimburse travel for this day. As a Sense Holidays volunteer you will - - Develop existing skills or learn new ones.
      - Learn about complex communication needs
      - Have an amazing experience supporting a child, young person or adult as they create great memories!
      - Plus it’s free – full training and support is provided Volunteering on a Sense Holiday is a great way to meet people, try new challenges, explore new ways of communicating and visit new places, all while experiencing a huge sense of achievement. As a Sense volunteer you are valued  for your time and energy, and for the unique contribution you bring.

      Hi, my name's Lynn. I did BSL Level 1 many years ago so very very rusty, if you don't use it you lose it lol. My friend is stone deaf, was brought up oral but is now learning BSL so in order to communicate even better, I'm brushing off my skills. At the snail pace at the mo but hope to improve. Any help much appreciated. I'm also moderately deaf and my hearing is deteriorating as each yearly audio test goes by, so I really need to do BSL in order to communicate, just need to encourage my family and friends to join me lol.
