Sallie Tomsazewski, employment team leader, said: “Our Mind Buzz sessions are challenging but great fun and help young deaf people to feel more confident, have a clearer idea about what they want to do with their lives and how to make it happen.

“We look forward to welcome participants from Cumbernauld at our upcoming sessions and supporting them to realise their potential and progress towards a better future”.
