Join the BDA

Become a member of the BDA and join the largest Deaf organisation in the UK that is run by Deaf people, which represents the Sign Language community.

The BDA wants to see a society where Sign Language users have the same rights, responsibilities, opportunities and quality of life as everyone else. BSL was recognised as an official British language on 18th March 2003, but it still does not have any legal protection. This means that Deaf Sign Language users do not have full access to vital information and services, including education, health and employment. We want to see an end to this.
