Schools in Bradford are being offered their last chance to sign up for a charity record breaker for the most young people signing and singing a song simultaneously.

Teachers, parents and children from the city are being invited to register for SignHealth’s sign2sing world record breaking attempt before Wednesday, January 23.

Steve Powell, chief executive of SignHealth, which is the national healthcare charity for deaf people, said: “More than 900 schools, including five from Bradford, have so far signed up for sign2sing but we are hoping around 1,200 schools will participate to ensure we break our current world record.

The event at 2.45pm, on Wednesday, February 6, aims to raise awareness of deafness and the work of SignHealth, as well as raise money for the charity. Register at sign2sing.org.uk.
