Safe and Seen Project

An amazing and thoughtful cause, which will undoubtedly impact the lives of many. I am in full of support of everything this initiative stands for.

This is such a beautiful and amazing project that will help a lot of people. Much needed in the community.

This community needs projects like this, supporting people to truly be safe and seen, creating equal opportunities regardless of whatever differences you have

Great initiative, supporting people with diverse needs

Great initiative. Newham, let’s speak/sign up for the marginalised.

Sign up now CIC is doing an incredible thing in Newham! Being able to participate in free BSL sessions whilst being taught by engaging and welcoming teachers is so wonderful. This initiative really deserves the funding!

I recently started attending the coffee mornings and I’m really enjoying it. Aj is so welcoming, patient, and attentive. I really think the safe & seen project will benefit communities in Newham, whilst amplifying the voices of groups often marginalized and forgotten. I can’t wait to develop my BSL skills further in these sessions, and communicate with deaf/hard-hearing customers in my public-facing role. Gaining this skill will give me an edge over my peers, but also enhance my deaf/hard-hearing customers’ experience at my workplace by ensuring they are truly seen & welcome.

From starting in coffee morning in may to doing level 1 currently I have learned so much about bsl and the deaf community. I have made some new friends both hearing and non hearing and feel so happy to be able to communicate with the deaf community . This has been such an enlightment and enrichment to me and hope others to experince the same journey, its amazing!

I love what Sign Up Now CIC is doing for the Deaf and hearing community in Newham. Teaching BSL and bringing people together through coffee mornings is such a brilliant idea. You’ve got my vote for the Safe and Seen Project. This project really deserves the support #InclusionForAll

This is not just a project—it is a long-term investment in our community’s wellbeing, resilience, and unity. Funding The Sign Up CIC means supporting a future where Deaf and hearing people can live, work, and thrive together on equal terms. It means continuing the vital journey toward accessibility, dignity, and mutual respect for all. The BSL Level 1 course empowers local people with a skill that has an immediate impact. It enables friends, families, carers, colleagues, and neighbors to communicate directly with Deaf individuals, rather than relying on interpreters or facing frustrating silence. This is especially important for young people and parents, who often express how life-changing it is to be able to use even basic BSL in everyday interactions. By continuing to offer this training, The Sign Up CIC is equipping the community with tools to create a more accessible and compassionate society Coffee, Signs and butterflies is not just classes—they are opportunities to build bridges, reduce isolation, and foster real belonging.
