Join our Heritage Steering Group
We’re looking for members to join our Heritage Steering Group. We especially welcome Deaf community members, alongside people with relevant expertise in Deaf history, heritage and archives, to help shape this work together.
We’re really excited to share some big news—and it’s perfect timing as we celebrate Museums Week.
The British Deaf Association is seeking members for a new Deaf Heritage Steering Group.
Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are beginning an exciting project to help preserve, protect and celebrate Deaf heritage, British Sign Language and Deaf culture.
We are looking for Deaf community members and people with relevant expertise in Deaf history, heritage, archives, museums, research or community engagement.
You do not need formal qualifications. Lived experience and enthusiasm for Deaf heritage are equally valuable.
The group will help shape the future of Deaf heritage in the UK and guide the development of a new Deaf Heritage Strategy.
Reasonable expenses will be covered.
If you are interested, we would love to hear from you. Please apply using the link below.
A huge thank you again to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and to all National Lottery players for making this possible.
