SignVideo by Sorenson Named Platinum Sponsor of Deaflympics Great Britain at Deaflympics
SignVideo by Sorenson Supports Great Britain Deaf Team at the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics in November
LONDON, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SignVideo by Sorenson, the world's leading language solutions provider, is proud to support Deaf athletes as a Platinum sponsor of Deaflympics Great Britain (DeaflympicsGB), at the 2025 Deaflympics to be held in Tokyo, Japan, on November 15-26, 2025. SignVideo's sponsorship reflects Sorenson's ongoing commitment to advancing accessibility and empowering Deaf communities around the world. The Deaflympics is the premier international multi-sport event for Deaf athletes, celebrating excellence, resilience, and the strength of the global Deaf community.
"We are honored to stand behind DeaflympicsGB as they represent their country on the world stage," said Paget Alves, CEO of Sorenson. "This sponsorship is a reflection of our deep commitment to supporting Deaf communities worldwide and ensuring greater access and opportunities in all sports."
As the official Platinum sponsor, SignVideo ensures Deaf athletes have the resources and support they need to compete at the highest level. This sponsorship is part of a broader mission to create a more inclusive world for Deaf individuals through technology, advocacy, and innovation.
"On behalf of the DeaflympicsGB, I am extremely grateful for SignVideo's support towards the costs of our involvement in the forthcoming Games in Tokyo," said Chris Ratcliffe, CEO of UK Deaf Sport, the organisation leading DeaflympicsGB. "The support of SignVideo as our official Platinum sponsor will provide a much-needed boost for our Team and help reduce the financial burden on our athletes."
Without government funding, Deaf athletes in the U.K. must take on the additional challenge of securing their own financial support to cover essential expenses while also dedicating themselves to rigorous training for the Games.
"We look forward to working with SignVideo, helping to raise awareness and sharing the success of DeaflympicsGB leading up to and during the Games in November," said Ratcliffe.
