Today UK Deaf Sport celebrate Deaf Awareness Week Role Models 2019 in Sport.

Here at UK Deaf Sport, we don’t have one role model we want to shout out about on this particular day but instead we want to take a moment to reflect and celebrate all the role models we have in the volunteers and organisations involved in making sport and physical activity opportunities for deaf children, young people and adults happen across the UK.

We know so many hours, sweat and tears are poured into the planning and preparation of sport and physical activity opportunities on a daily basis and we are grateful for this. We are continually inspired by our athletes, their training and determination and know they inspire the next generation of athletes performing on a domestic and international stage. Join us at UK Deaf Sport to celebrate and give thanks to everyone involved and continue the great work around deaf participation in sport and physical activity across the UK.
