The British Deaf Association (NI) in partnership with the Ulster Society at Jordanstown School are hosting an ‘Evening of Remembrance and Celebration’ on Friday 28th September from 6pm – 9pm and your presence would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.

The evening will celebrate the influential Deaf people who have impacted the Deaf world and to remember those who sadly died too young. We will have presentations as well as the unveiling of memorial benches. The evening will conclude with a time for socialising and refreshments.

The event has been timed to coincide with and mark ‘International Week of the Deaf ' – an annual initiative organised by the World Federation of the Deaf, the theme this year being “With Sign Language, Everyone is Included”.

If you would like to attend, please let us know by Thursday 20th September by contacting majella.mcateer@bda.org.uk or johncarberrydeaftrainer@gmail.com
