I am just starting learning sign language and was wondering if anyone can help me to provide information of where the deaf community of my local area (Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, GB) meet, and to find out whether or not it would be possible to come down and volunteer – and also help to improve my skills.
Thank you

Try looking it up on the internet. Or ask your teacher, they should know.
check out the local schools, or churches. you didn’t mention if u are american or not. if so, you are aware that british sign is different than asl, right? that’s why it’s AMERICAN sign language, not ENGLISH sign language.
i would definately ask at your class and see if you can find someone to go with you – it can be a bit intimidating when you first go.
at my local deaf club they do special nights to encourage bsl learners to go and get involved (like bingo) so it’s worth finding out if there’s something like that coming up.
have fun x
