Membership worth over £600
The new UK Deaf Sport membership offer ensures that the needs of the deaf sport and physical activity community are met through education, guidance, support and promotion. Many of the benefits are not available to non-members or would incur an additional cost.
UK Deaf Sport has evaluated the price and benefits of similar membership offers to ensure there is minimal duplication of benefits so all memberships are worthwhile and meaningful.
*All organisation based memberships are subject to that organisation having a Safeguarding Policy approved by UK Deaf Sport.
