We have maintained and built on collaborations with local community organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and relevant stakeholders who have connections with the target audience. Partnering with these entities has helped widen the reach and promote the workshops to their networks. We continue to conduct targeted outreach within the Deaf community and other communities interested in BSL. We have attended local events, conferences, and networking meetings to share information about the workshops. Connected with Deaf organizations, community centres, schools, and relevant support groups to spread the word.. We have designed visually appealing flyers and posters highlighting the key details of the BSL workshops. Distributed 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. We have increased our social media presence by developing a new Facebook group that has become a widely used tool for promoting sessions by posting samples of work. Word of Mouth: Encouraged participants from previous workshops to share their positive experiences with their friends, family, and colleagues. Personal recommendations and testimonials have been powerful in attracting new participants. Collaborative Events: We have organized events or activities in collaboration with local organizations or businesses where BSL workshops could be showcased. This included participating in community festivals or fairs. Email Marketing: Developed an email list specifically for those interested in BSL workshops. Collected email addresses through website sign-ups, event registrations, social media enquiries and other interactions. Regularly sent updates, reminders, and relevant information about upcoming courses. Our workshops are FREE to the local community We have a huge demand for more classes. We have been very successful in delivering all our classes. We have sustained them very well. The CIC has 7 Tutors, 10 volunteers and 389 learners

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 each session. At the end of the 30 weeks 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 a waiting list of participants who would like to join the workshops which will be planned in. 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”.
