Deaf Sports Personality of the Year (DSPY) would like to thank you for your support of the 7th DSPY2022 Awards Night which were held at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 1st July 2023.
It was impossible for us to meet all of you and to converse on the day!
However we wished to say that without the support of people like you, DSPY would not be able to reach our goals. Our appreciation is immeasurable.
I believe it was a grand success and many recognition was had on the night! Of course, there are always room for improvement however for a voluntary non-profit organisation to meet our minimal budget we managed to achieve all we wanted and the awards resources are not that cheap!
It is essential to continue DSPY Awards every biennial because it is an opportunity for socialising across different sports and we all know segregation at a young age detrimentally impacts upon young deaf people’s sense of identity and social belonging, as the majority struggle within the hearing world. An increased sense of isolation and perpetual communication barriers, as well as being a widely dispersed community can have a negative impact on deaf people.
Below are the photos at the awards 2022 ceremony and you can share around the world for better recognition to increase our network.
