We are thrilled to announce a new partnership between Sorensen and  Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to enhance accessibility for Deaf cricket fans by offering sign language interpreting services.


Through this collaboration, Deaf fans can now easily obtain tickets for upcoming matches or discuss membership packages using our video relay service (VRS), ensuring seamless communication with MCC, just like their hearing counterparts.


Additionally, staff and stewards at Lord's Cricket Ground will be equipped to communicate directly with Deaf individuals via an on-demand video BSL interpreter available on mobile or tablet devices.


Stuart Dunlop, Sustainability and Accessibility Manager at MCC, stated, "We are very pleased to become the first cricket venue to partner with SignVideo, whose service will make it easier for members of the BSL community to communicate with the Club’s staff. We hope this partnership will open up the experience of Lord’s to those who previously may not have considered visiting."
