Breaking Barriers in Audiology!

Over the past semester, we’ve had the pleasure of working with trainee clinical scientists from the University of Manchester’s STP Audiology Programme and what an incredible journey it’s been!

Across three workshops, the students immersed themselves in a wide range of experiences designed to build empathy, understanding, and practical awareness:
Exploring life without sight, sound, or mobility through lived experience activities.
Taking part in Braille and British Sign Language masterclasses to understand the basics and their real-world application.
Discovering assistive technologies such as cochlear implants, mobility vans, and AI-powered smart glasses.

The curiosity, engagement, and openness shown by this group have been fantastic to see. This marks our first delivery of the programme — and we’re excited to continue refining and growing it in the future.

A huge thank you to the University of Manchester for the collaboration and support throughout. Here’s to developing the next generation of inclusive healthcare professionals.

We loved being part of the Edstart Rochdale half-term programme, delivering fun, hands-on activities focused on communication, teamwork, and understanding disability 💙

Here’s Coach Oli, who leads the holiday club, sharing his thoughts on how the young people got involved, learned about different disabilities, and came away with new perspectives on inclusion.

Massive thanks to Oli and the Edstart Rochdale team for their warm welcome and continued partnership 👏

Unscripted with ESS — celebrating the people, not just the projects.

This week’s little joys:
Hammas is in Makkah for a sacred pilgrimage, a journey of reflection and peace.
Azeem is soaking up the sun on holiday in Turkey, enjoying some well-deserved rest.
Zara returned to the pitch for her first game after a long recovery, what a comeback!

Each moment is a reminder that beyond the work, there’s life, joy, and purpose in every season. 🌟

What a brilliant week we had delivering our Accessibility and Inclusion Workshop in Rochdale as part of the October half-term programme!

Young people took part in a range of fun, hands-on activities exploring how we communicate, how we can break barriers, and how small actions can make a big difference in creating a more inclusive world.

Massive shout-out to our partners EdStart Sports Coaching / Ashley Greenhalgh for making it all happen and for creating such a warm, energetic environment for everyone involved.

Together, we’re helping the next generation understand what accessibility truly means and how inclusion starts with empathy, awareness, and teamwork. 💪

Inaccessible Moments!

This week, Azeem shares one of the everyday challenges he faces when accessing public gyms as someone who is visually impaired.

Using gym equipment should be accessible for everyone. However, most cardio machines like treadmills and bikes rely entirely on touchscreen displays with no voice software or tactile feedback.

That means Azeem often needs to ask someone to press buttons, adjust settings, or tell him how far he’s gone, taking away the independence that exercise should bring.

It shouldn’t be like this.

By raising awareness, we hope to inspire positive change and encourage brands, designers, and manufacturers to consider accessibility from the very start. Sometimes, a simple feature like voice software can make a world of difference.

🧡💙💚

✨ Voices of Learn With ESS ✨

We’re thrilled to spotlight our very own Zara Musker, who recently joined Amber Senior on the “Full-Time Females / Women in Sport” podcast to share her story, insights and drive for inclusion.

Zara’s journey from breaking barriers in deaf and hard-of-hearing sport, to becoming a powerful advocate and role model is inspiring. Her voice matters, and her story is well worth a listen.

If you’re passionate about representation, accessibility and genuine change in sport & education, this episode is for you.

Let’s celebrate Zara for doing incredible things and sharing her truths so others can feel seen, heard and empowered.

🧡💙💚

Thumbs up if you’ve had a great day! 👍

What a wonderful visit we had earlier in the year to St Chrysostom’s CE Primary School in Manchester. So much learning, yet so much fun!

It’s been a privilege working with their fantastic cluster of local schools over the past few years, each visit filled with energy, laughter, and meaningful conversations around inclusion and empathy.

A huge thank-you to the staff and students for always welcoming us in so warmly. We can’t wait to build on this partnership and keep making an impact together in 2026!

💚💙🧡

“It was humbling, inspiring, and absolutely amazing.”

A massive thank you to Kai Uus, Teaching Lead at the Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness, for sharing such kind words about her experience with Learn With ESS.

From powerful sessions with staff to upcoming workshops for students, this collaboration with The University of Manchester has been all about creating meaningful conversations, building empathy, and inspiring the next generation of inclusive professionals.

We’re so excited to keep growing this partnership and continue shaping a future where awareness, understanding, and inclusion go hand in hand.
