We have been awarded 2 pots of funding allowing us to support other organisations and their volunteers in making North Wales more welcoming and inclusive.

CVSC (Community and Voluntary Support Conwy) have kindly funded 750 licences for volunteers working in Conwy to complete our online Sensory Loss Awareness programme. This course will give volunteers a basic awareness of the needs of people with a sensory loss and how they can meet them. 

The National Lottery also see the benefit of training for volunteers and have awarded us funding to provide free BSL taster sessions to people who volunteer in North Wales. These sessions will teach volunteers how to greet a Deaf BSL user and introduce themselves to each other.

Contact us on info@COS.org.uk for more information or if your organisation could benefit from or the Sensory Loss Awareness programme or BSL taster sessions
