Hi All,

Hope you're well

Sense provide holidaymakers with the opportunity to have fun, try new activities and make friends all whilst enjoying a week away from home. As a Sense Holiday volunteer, you'll be part of a team making sure each break is the very best experience it can be for everyone involved. You'll need to be enthusiastic, positive, open-minded and willing to be flexile. In return you'll have a one-of-a-kind experience. We welcome volunteers each year from a huge range of backgrounds. The unique contribution each volunteer makes, no matter your skills and experience, enables each and every holidaymaker to try new things and make new connections in a safe and supported environment.

We still have lots of holiday opportunities available specifically on the holidays detailed below. If you are interested in volunteering on one of our holidays please do email [email protected]

    • Hi, I am Naf and I have always wanted to learn sign language especially after working with a SEN student who suffered from hearing loss 2 years ago.  I was assigned to be her 1 to 1 and support her learning on a daily basis.  I learnt how to sign from simple communication to slightly complex story-telling level in order to provide a more inclusive environment.

    • Hello everybody,  I am from UK, born in Skipton, Yorkshire. I was born profoundly deaf, but because my parents decided to send me to hearing schools, I never learnt BSL. Parents had to take me from one school to another.  I was so unhappy in the schools because none of the chldren understood me and I struggled to learn anything from teachers who made no effort to help me understand.  It was a lonely experience being in hearing schools in those days. Now, as an elder, the little hearing I have is worsening, because I have tinnitus. So, I am studying the online British-Sign course to learn BSL. In the past I never saw my deafness as a handicap, but more as a gift. Being Deaf  enabled me to find out who I truly was. I became a professional ballerina despite being profoundly deaf, and later in life I taught many deaf and hearing people to dance and to gain confidence; to believe in themselves. I was recently on an episode of 'See Hear.' Series 45, Episode 1, called Love and Dating. My professional name was Nina Falaise. My married name is Nina Cooper.  These days, I use my visual skills in art and in my observation and love of nature.  Best wishes to you all, Nina

    • hello all i am relatively new here. I'm wondering if anyone uses the BSL Video Chat, because everytime i am here, i do not see anyone engaged on it
    • so cuteee
    • Hi everyone! Here's my introduction in BSL. Grateful for any feedback on my signing. I'm very much at the beginner stage. I'm learning BSL as one of my best friend's sisters is Deaf and I'd like to be able to chat to her in BSL.
    • Hi Megan,  Just thought I would send you a quick comment, saying, your not alone. I know several people who prefer BSL to talking because its to the point, there is no small talk to think about, no in between word fillers to think about, so completely understand. hope your journey through BSL helps you in more ways than you can imagine.
