The British Deaf Association (BDA) is looking for Deafblind people from across the United Kingdom to help shape the future of Deafblind leadership, representation and participation within the BDA.

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.

Today we are proud to share our new three-year plan for 2026–2029 — and to reflect on just how far we have come together over the past three years.

The British Deaf Association (BDA) has welcomed the passage of the Sign Language Bill in Northern Ireland, calling it a landmark step forward for the recognition and promotion of British Sign Language (BSL) and Irish Sign Language (ISL).

The British Deaf Association (BDA) is proud to endorse LumoTV’s 91% Mandate Campaign, which calls for greater representation of Deaf talent, British Sign Language (BSL), and Deaf-led storytelling across the UK’s screen industries.
