The Signature Hall of Fame: recognising those people who have gone above and beyond to improve deaf communication.

Since we became an organisation in 1982 we have seen so many inspiring stories and people doing amazing things to improve access for deaf people from the historic BSL Bill, the potential GCSE in BSL and Rose Ayling-Ellis winning BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

We believe many of these people deserve to be included in the Signature Hall of Fame.

Venue and dress code

Signature is excited to announce that the  Titanic Hotel in Liverpool will be the venue for this year’s Hall of Fame celebration! 

Please arrive at 7:00pm. Our event will conclude at 10:30pm.
 
The dress code for the evening is formal evening wear. A three-course dinner will be served with drinks available throughout the evening, so there is no need to bring any food or refreshments with you.
