Kirsty Last

Treasurer

I am a Level 3 Lipspeaker and qualified at Level 3 BSL. I was in the Police Service for 22 years, with the majority of my service working as a Detective in CID and Serious and Organised Crime. I started to learn BSL first in 2012 after I had my daughter. I qualified as a Lipspeaker in October 2019 and I now work full time as a freelance lipspeaker. It is a fabulous and rewarding career being able to support people who are deaf or hard of hearing with communication in whatever setting they require.
