Joseph’s Centre for the Deaf would like to thank the Department of Communities for their continued support and funding for our Zoom with a View Sign Language Program over the past year. The new medium of Zoom has allowed us to continue with our courses over the past year, due to the success of Zoom we plan to continue and provide a combination of Zoom and face to face courses in the future.
The Department of Communities has been an active supporter of Joseph's Centre for the Deaf for a number of years through the funding of Adult Sign Language and Schools' Programmes. This year, they have provided funding to set up this website and have funded our Zoom with a View Programme, an on-line project due to the current Covid-19 situation. We are delighted to announce further funding has been confirmed by Department of Communities for our See Hear project, this funding will be used to purchase office equipment, electronic equipment for the Deaf Centre and resources for our sign language courses.
