We strongly believe that social media is for everyone!

Our marketing team have been busy working away in the background to create content to let you know all about our services, upcoming social groups and other events. We're very excited to share it with you all!

While all efforts are made to ensure our content is as accessible as possible by adding alt text to images, audio descriptions to videos and contrasting colours in our graphics and British Sign Language (BSL) translations, we understand that people have different accessibility requirements.

Please do not be afraid to ask for something in a different format - we are more than happy to accommodate (this includes any content you come across on our website too!).

And if we've really missed the mark with a social media post, please call us out on it! You can comment directly under the post, send us a Facebook message or email our marketing team: [email protected].

In the meantime, if you want to learn about your local services, please visit our website https://www.bid.org.uk/locations/cumbria/

Please let us know where you are based in the comments below and if you would prefer to be taught in-person or happy with remote learning!
