Centre for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People is pleased to share this wonderful video below featuring the members of the Bristol Deaf Art Group. They talk about their relationship with art and their experience over eight sessions, led by James Banks.
The group formed as a result of CfD’s Small Community Grant scheme, and we are so proud of the members for acquiring new skills in art, but also for the confidence they have developed to continue to be creative. The members talk about the impact that direct communication in BSL to learn a new skill has had on them.
The art group and various other activity groups which have formed from our grant scheme has shown us that direct communication in BSL, with new and familiar faces, is fundamental to the wellbeing of our community.
With thanks to Bristol City Council’s Impact Fund for their continued support with our activity groups.
Two exceptionally pleasant and helpful people – a pleasure to meet and my new doorbell is a great help. Thank you very much.
…I was very satisfied with the service. The two staff were professional and easy to communicate with. They were able to explain everything clearly and quickly gave me the replacement equipment.
