Good point, my young man got turned down for a volunteering opportunity due to lack of funding for BSL support. Often volunteering is the only way to get valuable experience and learn transferable skills in order to get that first job.

I wonder if anyone’s made the case in the UK re providing funding for deaf/disabled people to have full access and hence experience of volunteering opportunities? Access to Work is only for work as far as I know. And for many, volunteering leads to work opportunities.

It looks like the avatar and the BSL toggle have been removed since I posted. This is what it looked like. The avatar looks human and is based on real footage but what you’re seeing is a synthetic signer - with sign language generated by AI using a database of recorded signs.

Another punch in the gut for grant funding. #HigherEd #ResearchFunding
So many groundbreaking scholars are only in the field because of these grants. We are going to lose a generation's worth of knowledge that we will never get back: www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...
Fulbright-Hays Grants Canceled for the Year
The grant programs have supported the international research of students and scholars for more than 60 years.

Today at the Houses of Parliament, we’re inviting MPs to learn about BSL & Deaf culture. Later, for the first time, Parliament will debate BSL as a language, not just access to services. A major moment for BSL during #SLW2025. We look forward to real progress.
