Home School Communication Project
The aim of this project is to support communication between children and their families/carers at home. This project aims to break down communication barriers and increase fluency in British Sign Language (BSL) in their home environment. We aim to improve communication through BSL between parents, families, siblings and the wider community. A priority of the project is to actively address the issue of language deprivation and limited communication at home by engaging with and working directly with families.
Please support us with fundraising to ensure this project is sustainable. We rely on fundraising initiatives and the support of our local community and partners for donations to pay for the staffing and resources to run the project. The more funds we raise, the more families we can support.
