We were delighted to welcome Jess Brown-Fuller, MP for Chichester, to our Chichester Deaf Social at the weekend.

With around 100 people attending, it was a fantastic opportunity for members of the Deaf community to connect with others, and share their experiences directly with their local MP.

In Jess' own words: "A big thank you to everyone who gave me such a warm welcome and taught me some basic BSL that I've shared with my family!"

Thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it an enjoyable event.

If you'd like to join us at a future Hub or social event, visit our website for upcoming dates.
