NHS Dumfries and Galloway and Dumfries and Galloway Council are looking to develop a new six year British Sign Language (BSL) Plan for 2024 – 2030.
To help us understand the issues that deaf people face in Dumfries and Galloway, we are holding five events across the Region over the next few weeks for you to have your say on what should be included in our new plans.
Our events are being held on –
- Tuesday 30th January 10.30pm – 12.30pm at the Ryan Centre in Stranraer
- Tuesday 6th February 5pm – 7pm – online event via MS Teams
- Tuesday 20th February – 10am – 12pm in Castle Douglas Community Centre
- Thursday 22nd February – 10am – 12pm in DG1 in Dumfries
- Thursday 22nd February – 2pm – 4pm in The Victoria Halls in Annan
