LET ME TELL YOU A STORY...
My name is Richard and I'm hard of hearing (deaf).
I was born with mild hearing loss, but over the years it's gotten worse. To help me communicate and understand the world, I wear two hearing aids. Before the pandemic, I managed just fine. But when we all had to wear masks and stay socially distant, communicating became a real challenge.
That's when I decided to dive deep into British Sign Language (BSL) - it's not only a necessity for me, but communicating through sign language is also just so much fun!
Picture this: you're at the end of a long workday, enjoying a cup of coffee with your partner. You're chatting away, laughing and sharing stories of the day - and here's the best part - you haven't made a sound!
Even though my wife can hear perfectly fine and I can hear most things, we still communicate in sign language about our day, where we should go on holiday, and how delicious our meal is! Honestly, if I had known how practical, helpful, expressive, and joyful BSL is, I would have learned it years ago.
And that's why I decided to start teaching sign language online and in-person. I want people like me to be able to sit in a room with friends or colleagues, keep up with conversations, and feel included, even in a noisy space. Learning sign language is empowering and a wonderful skill to have in our ever-changing world where inclusion, acceptance, and connection are so important.
So why not join me today and start your journey into learning British Sign Language?
It's an amazing language to know. I'm now qualified at BSL Level 3 with a Signature qualification. Sign Together UK is now a fully accredited Signature centre.

OUR MISSION
British Sign Language Learning from Sign Together UK
At Sign Together, our mission is to bridge the communication gap between the hearing and deaf communities. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to communicate and be understood, regardless of their hearing ability.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of inclusive communication for those who depend on lip-reading and have hearing difficulties. We are committed to providing British Sign Language support to empower and connect individuals with hearing impairments.
We believe that sign language is not only essential for the deaf and hard of hearing, but can also benefit those with learning difficulties, anxiety, mental health issues, and anyone seeking an expressive and alternative way to communicate.
Our goal is to make British Sign Language accessible to everyone through our online and face-to-face tuition for adults, BSL basic learning for children, and Deaf Awareness at work for businesses. We are dedicated to supporting families with children who are deaf, hard of hearing, or use sign as a communication tool.
We envision a future where everyone can Sign Together, regardless of their hearing ability, and we are committed to making this a reality.
