Is the Signing Choir run voluntarily?

Yes It was setup and continues to be led voluntarily to give something back to the Deaf and Hearing communities; to share the love and joy of the vibrant visual language and break down communication barriers. The choir has overheads like all groups. This is paid through members subs. Performance collections go to Deaf related projects and to replace choir equipment as required.
