Forget ghosts and ghouls… there are scarier things out there. 👻

This Halloween, we’re shining a light on the everyday barriers that can make communication and accessibility harder for Deaf people.

A little awareness can make a huge difference - and inclusion should never be frightening. 🎃

Swipe through… if you dare! 👀

🎉 Youth Vibe has arrived in Winsford! 🤟💜

We’re so excited to have launched our newest Youth Vibe group at New Images Youth and Community Centre - creating another inclusive space for Deaf children and young people, CODAs, siblings and friends to meet, connect and have fun together.

Our first session welcomed five young people, and it was brilliant to see friendships already starting to form. 💜

Youth Vibe is shaped by the young people who attend, with specialist youth workers providing BSL communication so everyone can get involved.

The new Winsford group joins our Youth Vibe clubs in Chester, Warrington and Northwich, with monthly activities and plenty of adventures ahead!

Through Youth Vibe, we’re committed to creating opportunities for Deaf young people to build confidence, make friends, try new things and - most importantly - have their voices heard. 🙌

Welcome to Youth Vibe, Winsford! ✨ for more information contact [email protected]
