The Hunslet Club is proud to be offering free Makaton sessions as part of its Junior Youth Club, helping to promote inclusivity and communication among young people in a fun and supportive environment.
Held during Junior Youth Club sessions, which run on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:30-8pm, the sessions give 8–12-year-olds the opportunity to learn Makaton—a unique language programme that uses signs and symbols alongside speech—encouraging new ways to communicate and connect with others.
The initiative is already having a positive impact, with young people building confidence, developing new skills, and gaining a greater understanding of others, all while enjoying time with their friends.
Junior Youth Club is free to attend, making it accessible for all young people in the community.
