Only 4 British Sign Language interpreters in the UK are specialists in Grime. Tara Asher signed Stormzy’s Glasto set for deaf festival goers. She rehearsed each song for a day. This is joyous. She LOVES her job. Have a watch please. @BritishSignBSL @deafzone1 #glastonbury19

A big crowd in Parliament Square this afternoon at the #SENDNationalCrisis event! Great to see so many people come together to campaign against cuts to support for #deaf and disabled children.
Pleased to see The Guardian cover the parent-led #SENDNationalCrisis marches taking place this Thursday. 📣 Members of our Campaigns team will be marching with #deaf children and their families across England to demand an end to cuts to vital support: theguardian.com/education/20…

The photographer then supported the young people to apply their new skills! We were super impressed with the #photograghy work they produced in such a short amount of time! 📸
Photographer @mrjasonlarkin then delivered a session on why he got into the #creative industries + presented some of his favourite work from over the years!
