Sign language championed at Sunderland cafe

Do you know how to use sign language?

A cafe on Wearside, where all the staff are deaf, takes your order through an interpreter.

Its aim is to offer employment opportunities and help people to understand the basic function of British Sign Language (BSL).

“I want deaf people to feel inspired and confident and also use this platform to educate the general public,” said Craig Jones, director of Eden Cafe & Community Hub in Sunderland.
