We are slowly approaching the nice weather and getting closer to the Easter festivities.
As usual, in this week's newsletter you can find references to some awareness weeks and days that aim to draw attention to important health campaigns through fun and interesting events.
Sign Language Week (18th - 24th March) with this year's theme “Promoting BSL” aims to encourage people of all ages across the UK to take up the challenge of learning BSL for themselves and finding out more about the language and culture of the Deaf, Deafblind and hard of hearing British people for whom BSL is their first or preferred language.
Communities 1st often organises training such as "Deaf awareness and Basic BSL" session helping people dealing with this topic.
On Wednesday 27th March Communities1st will attend the "Man, You’re a Lifesaver" , a free event inviting men to have conversations about their health and wellbeing.
There will be more than 15 stalls offering advice, information and guidance, such as Prostate Cancer UK, InspireAll and Healthy Hubs.
The free event (no need to book) will be held in Allum Hall (Borehamwood). Come to see us there!
Stay safe and have a lovely weekend!
