Launching today! 🎉

We’re excited to introduce the first of our 10 new video lessons, which allow learners in schools across the UK to take the next steps in learning British Sign Language.

These new lessons focus on developing conversational skills useful in real-world situations, making them accessible to a wider range of students across both primary and secondary schools.

The first lesson, covering Being Around Adventures, is available for free now, with an additional new lesson coming every week.

👉 Explore the free resources and bring BSL into your classroom through this link - https://theschoolofsigns.org.uk/

We don’t just want to give out information — we want to hear from you too.

What helps people access cancer screening? What gets in the way? What would make things easier?

Better health doesn’t always have to mean making huge changes.

Sometimes it starts with one small step — learning something new, asking a question, attending a screening appointment or having a conversation.

Come and take your small step with us at Small Steps, Better Health on Wednesday 21st October.
