Deaf girl, six, will go trick or treating for the first time as neighbours rally round to learn sign language

Neighbours of a local deaf girl in Worcester have rallied so she can trick or treat for the first time.

Ada Hawkes, now aged six, was diagnosed as being profoundly deaf at just 18 months old.

She always wanted to participate in the tradition on the 31st of October with her mother Tilly, but the pair have been wary about barriers to communication as British Sign Language (BSL) is Ada’s first language.
