There is a simple leaflet which contains lots of information about our work. Or, have a look at our Annual Review for 2009-10 (Adobe Acrobat file). It contains useful information about the charity's work.You can also read our latest newsletter, full of information about what we have been doing.

SignHealth wants to see a world where deaf people are as healthy as hearing people. Deaf people can find it hard to get equal access to health care and health information. Because of this, deaf people are more likely to become ill.

SignHealth has been working for over 20 years to improve the health of deaf people  - initially in mental health and now more generally.
