The primary focus of the event was to engage in constructive conversations about the Council's progress on the British Deaf Association's BSL and ISL Charter. Attendees had the opportunity to exchange thoughts and insights over refreshments and lunch, fostering an environment of collaboration and open dialogue.

One of the highlights of the day was the lively brainstorming session, where participants contributed their ideas for future projects and improvements. The event successfully brought together diverse perspectives, creating a space for meaningful discussions that will undoubtedly contribute to the betterment of our community.
