British Deaf Association

The British Deaf Association (BDA) is a leading organization in the UK that advocates for the rights and needs of Deaf people, particularly those who use British Sign Language (BSL). Founded in 1890, the BDA aims to raise awareness about Deaf culture and issues, promote accessibility, and influence policy to improve the quality of life for Deaf individuals. The association provides support, resources, and training, while also campaigning for better recognition of BSL as a legitimate language, ensuring that Deaf people's voices are heard and respected in society.
