'Letters Home' is a short film which tells the story of Tom, a sailor from the Royal Navy 63rd Division, writing his letter home.
It’s a personal account on the front line, where a letter home is sent in case the imaginable happens.

“A poor life this is if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.” Lovely reading & great to have brought to life from the page in #BSL ! Do share with anyone that could use this in their day 👇🏽 @SignHealth
The Reader ran a #SharedReading group at the John Denmark Unit, that offers mental health services to adult deaf people in Greater Manchester. Once a month, our Featured Poem will be interpreted for BSL users by Tony Redshaw.
