sign2sing is a wonderful opportunity for your school to do something new and educational- learning to sign while also fundraising for the Deaf health charity SignHealth.

Go Virtual!
Ideas for virtual concerts:
We also recognise the challenge of collecting participants contributions during lockdown. One solution would be to set up your own JustGiving page where donations can be made online. Here is the SignHealth JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/signhealth Click the orange tab at the top where it says 'Fundraise for us' and then you can add your own words to it such as why you have chosen our charity and what the activity is. You can then share this page with the children's parents and family, or put this onto your own school website to encourage donations. |
We have chosen the most popular songs over the last ten years for you to choose from.
When you register you will be able to go to the back album to select which song(s) to choose from. You will see the following:
- sign2sing full music video
- sign2sing step by step tutorial
- sign2sing full video tutorial
- song lyrics
Be sure to share videos of your performances or practice sessions with us at fundraising@signhealthorg.uk

Below are all the resources you need to help make your fundraising a success.
SignHealth is the Deaf health charity, working to improve the health and wellbeing of Deaf people.
Deaf people in the UK experience poorer health outcomes, often due to communication barriers that make even basic questions, tests and appointments difficult to access.
SignHealth offers accessible services delivered in sign language and campaigns for equitable access to healthcare, mental health and social care services.
