Britain's What's On Event Guide
Trinity Leeds Announces Pioneering New SignLive Service
Trinity Leeds is the first shopping centre in the UK to team up with a pioneering new service to help support the deaf community and improve their experience.
SignLive is now available at Guest Services and more than 40 brands at the centre, and provides access to live British Sign Language interpreters quickly and easily by simply scanning a QR code. It aims to remove barriers, improve customer experience and enhance access for people who use British Sign Language.
The news comes ahead of Purple Tuesday on November 12th, with a string of activities and events planned at Trinity Leeds to highlight the accessible services available, as part of the annual awareness day around accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities.
A representative from SignLive will be available to discuss the service as part of the centre’s Purple Tuesday events on November 12th, where Guide Dogs for the Blind and Colostomy UK will also be on hand to raise awareness, and Support Dogs will host puppy training on the mall.
Trinity Leeds’ Guest Services team will also highlight the centre’s accessibility services and ask for guest feedback on how to help improve inclusivity, and a quiet hour will be held from 9am to 11am for those who prefer a calmer shopping environment without music, product demonstrations or mall activity.

• Quiet Mornings: Every Tuesday from 9am to 11am, where retailers reduce noise for those who prefer a calmer shopping environment without music, product demonstrations or mall activity.
