'Dave the Signer' is a hit Last year we launched a series of deaf awareness videos each, of which looked at a different issue that deaf and hard of hearing people face on a daily basis, from accessing buildings with an intercom entry system to the lack of text contact facilities. 'Dave the Signer' emphasises the importance of having a fully qualified British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter present at key appointments. The video starred GDA's Reg Cobb, James Banks and Hannah Ede and to this day continues to be a hit. Since its launch back in January 2015 it has been viewed over 6,500 times!! Along the way it has attracted the attention of Gloucester born-and-bred TV chef Tom Kerridge, as we as the local media and politicians. James is still recognised in public as 'Dave'. Needless to say, the response to the video has been fantastic, prompting comments including: "Best deaf awareness video I've seen to date" "Good stuff. So sad to think this really does happen though" "This video had me in stitches! But seriously, it's not funny when it happens to you. Well done Reg and co for producing this fantastic video" Each video features the style of humour and creativity that's become a trademark of GDA, whilst still portraying a very important and serious point.
