History of the Joseph Maitland Robinson Award
The Joseph Maitland Robinson Award has a long history dating back to 1989.
The awards were made in honour of our late benefactor Joseph Maitland Robinson who contributed £100,000 to us when our financial future was in considerable doubt.
The award was presented to one deaf and one hearing person who have made significant contributions to support our work and aims.
Our Signature Annual Awards give us the opportunity to recognise a wider group of individuals. We now have eight award categories which includes the Joseph Maitland Robinson Award for Outstanding Achievement. This award is now only presented to one individual.
