We had such a great night with BSL poetry and short story sessions. Also our BSL sign club and cafe. We had over 60 people there tonight and it was a joy to watch everyone communicating using BSL. Get the 7th of October in your diary please.

Recording voice overs in this weather is no glamorous affair. Hiding under a bath towel with your iPad and microphone gear, with very little oxygen is wild. It always sounds great though and kills all the echos. Happy Friday everyone #accesiblevideos

Hi everyone it's me again. It's two days until our exciting new BSL storytelling sessions start at Paisley Central Library. We will be adding more venues as the summer goes on. A share or coming along to our sessions would mean an awful lot to us. See you soon.

Great session today with East Renfrewshire Council & Enjoy East Ren. Brilliant to meet so many Deaf professionals during Sign Language Awareness Week. Deaf awareness shouldn’t only happen once a year. For BSL training & Deaf awareness sessions: westscotlandbsl@gmail.com #BSL #Accessibility

Hey looking for advice on ear loops. I struggle to filter out background noise when I’m speaking or signing. Being in noisy places can make concentrating difficult. Im not wanting to block sound completely. It doesn’t have to be these particular models but open to suggestions

Today we came to the end of our 10 week course with Renfrewshire’s health and social care partnership. We are sad that it’s ended but very proud of everyone that came to the sessions. Their knowledge has grown and their minds have opened. Monday mornings won’t be the same

These are just a few of the schools that we managed to visit on our Christmas BSL tour. It’s so encouraging to see so many schools invested in bringing us in to work with so many children and bring their attention to this beautiful language. Many thanks to everyone involved

Hi everyone. We have to decided that with last year’s Christmas BSL sessions being so popular, we wanted to do it again. We are in the Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Glasgow areas and will consider further afield. I have added all the details are in the pictures. Please feel free to share
