December 2020

Hello! Welcome to the December issue of Makaton Monthly.

Become a Makaton member now and you'll be added to our Founders Membership, giving you access to an additional 700 signs and symbols from our Living and Learning vocabulary set, for the same price as Core Membership, £60. (The deadline to become a Founder Member has been extended to 31st January 2021.)

Core Membership already gives you access to over 500 signs, videos, and symbols from the Core Vocabulary, and support from our knowledgeable Ambassadors and Tutors in the MakaChat community. So with an extra 700 signs and symbols, Founders Membership is fantastic value.

If you are already a member, don't worry, you have automatically been added to our Founders Membership scheme.

Founders Membership makes the perfect Christmas present that keeps giving support throughout the year.

Communication Access UK is an initiative developed in partnership by charities and organisations, including The Makaton Charity, that share a vision to improve the lives of people with communication difficulties.

Together, we’ve developed the Communication Access Symbol, a new disability access symbol, designed to make life easier for millions of people in the UK.

Nikki uses Makaton with her youngest daughter, Lucinda. She is also training to be a Makaton Tutor. So she uses the Makaton Hub as a parent, and now also as a trainee! She recently became a Founder Member.

"I am really enjoying my new Founders Membership on the Hub! It is so useful to have all the signs and symbols just at my fingertips and I love that I can log on from my phone when I am out and about if I need to quickly check a sign - so handy!"

Did you know that you can save the Makaton Hub to your homepage on your phone too, so it looks like an app? To do this, go to makaton.org on your phone: there is normally an option menu where you can then select ‘save to Home screen’. It will display as our new logo, making it even easier to access!
