Welcome to Sign Together UK – Your Path to Learning British Sign Language
​Sign Together UK is a family-run business based in Oxfordshire, proudly serving the South of England. Founded by Richard Walklett, a hard-of-hearing BSL signer, our mission is simple: to bridge the communication gap between the hearing and Deaf communities and make BSL learning accessible, enjoyable, and empowering for all.
At Sign Together UK, we offer BSL courses for every level – from beginner to advanced Level 1, Level 2, and even Level 3 qualifications. We also provide Deaf Awareness workshops for businesses, helping foster inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
Our courses are popular with a wide range of people, including Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, neurodiverse communities people, and those in caring professions such as nursing, teaching, care work, and customer service. We love seeing how BSL brings people together, fostering connection, understanding, and communication.
We understand that learning a new language can be daunting, which is why we strive to make every course enjoyable, accessible, and supportive. Whether you’re looking for in-person or online tuition, we’re here to help you at your own pace.
So, if you’re ready to start your BSL journey, we’d love to have you join us!

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY...
Hi, I’m Richard, and I’m hard of hearing (deaf). I was born with mild hearing loss, but over the years, my hearing has gradually declined. To help me connect with the world, I rely on two hearing aids. Before the pandemic, I was managing okay. But when masks and social distancing became part of our daily lives, communication became more difficult than ever.
That’s when I decided to truly dive into British Sign Language (BSL). At first, it was a necessity, but I soon discovered how much fun and joy it brought me. BSL isn’t just a practical tool – it’s a language that allows me to express myself in ways I never imagined.
Imagine a quiet evening with your partner, after a busy workday. You’re sharing a cup of coffee, laughing about your day, and chatting away – without saying a word. Even though my wife can hear, we communicate entirely in sign language. It’s become our way of sharing our lives with one another, and I love how expressive and practical it is.
That’s why I’m so passionate about teaching British Sign Language. I want to help people like me – those who feel disconnected or excluded in social settings – feel included and empowered, no matter where they are. BSL is more than just a language; it’s a tool for connection and understanding.
​
