What is BSL?

British Sign Language (BSL) is a vibrant, expressive language that connects the Deaf community across the UK. With its own grammar and rich culture, BSL is not just signs – it's a powerful way to share stories, make connections, and promote understanding. Learning BSL opens doors to meaningful conversations and true inclusion.
