Organisation description: Established over 150 years ago, Bolton Deaf Society is a small independent charity providing practical support to people with hearing loss. The charity aims to tackle the two linked issues of social isolation, through its social activities, and barriers to communication with the hearing world, through its sign language interpreted information and advocacy services. The Society predominantly supports profoundly deaf people who are sign language users, but also has a regular hearing aid drop in clinic and provides support to people who are hard of hearing. The Deaf Centre also hosts BSL training.
