Businesses get Deaf Aware

The theme for this year’s Deaf Awareness Week (4-8 May) is Connect and Communicate. It’s  good to see businesses we are working with are committed to connecting and communicating with their d/Deaf customers.    Here’s what two of our corporate supporters  – Starbucks and Waitrose – say:

Starbucks
“We’re proud of our connection with SignHealth through the work of Starbucks Canary Wharf store manager Toro Manca and the Jubilee Place team. Toro took customer service to another level when he decided to learn sign language to connect with his Deaf customers. He applied for funding through Starbucks and is now a Level 3 sign language student working to raise awareness across the business, including performing a signed coffee tasting for Howard Schultz, chairman and chief executive officer of Starbucks when he visited the UK earlier this year. He has also employed two Deaf partners, Manu and Chris, in his store. Toro and the district team are championing community service at Starbucks and we look forward to seeing more from their work with the Deaf community.”

Mark Fox, Managing Director, Starbucks

 

 

Waitrose

“We’re delighted to have the opportunity to support such an important charity.  It’s lovely to know that our donation will help a cause so close to our customer’s hearts, that does such great work in the community. Waitrose is committed to giving all of its customers the best possible service, including those who are D/deaf.”

Elisabeth Dalton, Community Matters Champion, Waitrose Amersham
