Number One

"Number One" was the first small residential care home in the UK to provide a signing environment for five young adults who are profoundly deaf, have learning disabilities and other special needs including autism, epilepsy and minor mental health problems. We opened in April 1991 and our first four residents are still with us.

We named the home, "Number One", because it is a name that translates readily into British Sign Language and helps our residents to learn, very quickly, how to communicate their address.

"Number One" is situated in a residential area of Salford, Greater Manchester and is within easy reach of shops, public transport, motorways and only three miles from Manchester City Centre. It is a five bedroomed semi-detached house similar to surrounding houses.
