Wayne Sharples

WAITE Wellbeing Support Worker

I’m Wayne, I’m profoundly deaf and a native BSL user. I have a BA Honours degree in British Sign Language and I graduated from UCLAN in 2012. In addition to being a BSL teacher I am a Wellbeing worker and an Advocate at MDC, I also deliver Deaf Awareness training. I love performance, dance and theatre and I was involved in the Paralympics opening ceremony in 2012. I also have experience doing BSL translations for ITV. My hobbies include LGBT rugby and outdoor military fitness boot-camp, attending deaf exhibition events and going to watch accessible theatre (with a BSL interpreter or captions).
