This has been a significant milestone for South Lanarkshire to have #BSL as part of the curriculum. This will take a number of years but like planting a young apple tree, we will grow our future BSL Interpreters in Scotland and everyone benefits it.

DbS members enjoyed a fantastic BSL descriptive tour of @NtlMuseumsScot. DbS are extending our activities in Edinburgh, and this was an amazing start. Thank you so much to Babs and Lynsey for a fascinating tour, we can’t wait to return and see more!

@wearemadlug do the best rucksacks! Different versions for laptops or general use, extremely high quality and if you buy one, a young person in care is given a proper bag to move their things to a new home with the dignity they deserve
