Company activities and impact

We have created a dedicated website webpage that provides detailed information about the BSL workshops. Include essential details such as workshop costs and location, registration process, and contact information. Optimize the website for search engines to increase visibility. Additionally, leverage social media platforms to promote the workshops, share updates, and engage with potential participants. We have established collaborations with local community organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and relevant stakeholders who have connections with the target audience. Partnering with these entities can help widen the reach and promote the workshops to their networks. We have conducted targeted outreach within the Deaf community and other communities interested in BSL. We will be attending local events, conferences, or meetings to share information about the workshops. Connect with Deaf organizations, community centres, schools, and relevant support groups to spread the word. We are also considering hosting informational sessions or presentations to generate interest and answer questions. We will be exploring opportunities to share information about the BSL workshops through traditional media channels, such as local newspapers, radio stations, and television stations. Contact journalists or media outlets who may be interested in covering the workshops or conducting interviews to generate awareness. Design visually appealing flyers and posters highlighting the key details of the BSL workshops. Distribute them strategically in community centres, libraries, universities, schools, coffee shops, and other high-traffic areas where the target audience is likely to notice them. Ensure that the contact information and registration details are prominently displayed. Word of Mouth: Encourage participants from previous workshops to share their positive experiences with their friends, family, and colleagues. Personal recommendations and testimonials can be powerful in attracting new participants. Consider offering incentives, such as referral discounts or rewards, to encourage word-of-mouth promotion. Local Advertising: Explore local advertising options, such as community newsletters, bulletin boards, and digital advertising in relevant online platforms. This can help target specific geographic areas and communities. Collaborative Events: Organize events or activities in collaboration with local organizations or businesses where BSL workshops can be showcased. This could include hosting information booths, offering mini-lessons or demonstrations, or participating in community festivals or fairs. Email Marketing: Develop an email list or newsletter specifically for those interested in BSL workshops. Collect email addresses through website sign-ups, event registrations, and other interactions. Regularly send updates, reminders, and relevant information about upcoming ll our work shops are FREE to the local community

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are the local residents in the area. The deaf and hearing learners who have shown a huge interest in joining the workshops the advance their communication skills. The directors of the company live in various towns. They have contributed in promoting the workshops on social media and other internet platforms. They have formed a good social network amongst a large audience who are interested in being part of the workshops. We complete an individual learning plan throughout the each session. At the end of the 10 week the learners are asked to complete a short survey in regarding their learning experience. This helps us the evaluate and make any changes if needed. Through research, we have identified that there is a huge demand for these workshops from both communities. We have released that the North and South part of Birmingham seems to be in more demand. This is something that we will need to address in the near future. We have a waiting list of 60 participants who would like to join the work shops in the near future. This is something we will plan. It is much needed for both communities. We encourage everyone to learn British Sign language so that we can have inclusion for both deaf and hearing and put a stop to isolation for the deaf. Our aim is to “Break the Barriers”.
