I got this from the Deaf Uk Jobs yahoo group/mailing list:
-------
CommunityID is running a Big Lottery project for ALL of London. The aim is to promote 'community cohesion' for Deaf people and improved working conditions and awareness for their BSL Interpreters.
We regularly deliver our free interactive and modern "Deaf & Interpreter" sessions to those that are eligible (third sector, volunteers and those from deprived/poor backgrounds) .
However, 2012 will be taking a new additional approach – with some great themed events with some great Deaf guest speakers being lined up!
There will be a mix of presentations, training workshops & sessions and lots of opportunities to network at all the events.
ANYONE from LONDON is welcome to attend, if they meet our criteria:
• Work in Third Sector (charity, community/voluntary groups, C.I.Cs, ethically motivated social enterprises)
• Volunteer in spare time
• Low income (deprived background – unemployed, low paid worker)
• Have a Deaf family member and need to learn more
• Volunteer or work to support specific Deaf communities/ organisations/ projects
