Sponsor The Signature Annual Awards 2018

For the past nine years, the Signature Annual Awards has been a foundation in our work to recognise people who are going above and beyond to improve access for deaf people. Our prestigious awards have been awarded to business leaders, community groups, volunteers, and teachers to name a few.

In almost 40 years, Durham based Signature has expanded and developed into one of the leading national charities in the sector. We are passionate about improving communication between deaf, deafblind and hearing people, and creating better communities in the process. We want to make sure that deaf and deafblind people have the same opportunities as everyone else, and the same access to education, employment and services.

To celebrate the 10th year of the Signature Annual Awards, we are welcoming our finalists, guests and the media to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art on the beautiful Newcastle-Gateshead Quayside on Friday 9th November. We need friends of Signature to help us make that happen.

There are 10 separate award categories, inspired from the past 10 years of the Signature Annual Awards. This year, we’ll be handing out awards to the nominees who can show us how they’re creating ‘brighter futures’ for other people.

One of our favourite parts of the Signature Annual Awards is seeing so many wonderful people come together for the ceremony. We’re all spread across the UK and maybe even further afield, but we love to imagine the possibilities when so many determined, passionate and caring people meet for one night only. The Signature Annual Awards isn’t a profit-making event. It’s for us to meet, and celebrate, the unsung heroes who wouldn’t normally get the recognition they deserve.

We would love you to get involved with our awards this year. We are offering high profile sponsorship opportunities which covers PR, advertising, online coverage, marketing materials and a prime place at the awards ceremony in November. In addition to the flexible, value for money opportunities we have available, we can offer you bespoke packages to suit your specific business needs. The Signature Annual Awards and our nominees receive exposure through the national press, blogs, websites, publications and social media. Relationships have been developed and/or strengthened with many deaf organisations, community groups and individuals as a result of the awards in previous years. As a charitable organisation, we do heavily rely on gaining support; The Signature Annual Awards provides an excellent opportunity to get involved with an event that chooses to celebrate the deaf community and those who strive for change.

To arrange a sponsorship package with us or to explore bespoke sponsorship options, call 0191 383 1155 or email £communications@signature.org.uk.

Nominations are open and will close at 5pm on Monday 30th July.
