Deafway
We are a UK registered charity with a history going back to 1894. Founded and still working in Lancashire, in the North West of England.
Objectives and Activities:
Deafway is established for the relief of people who are D/deaf* or who suffer from communication disorders. Firstly for those resident in Lancashire and secondly those resident in the rest of the United Kingdom and elsewhere, in particular by assisting and supporting their equal access to and participation in all aspects of society.
Mission Statement:
“Working to achieve equal access and opportunity for people who are D/deaf*”
* We have followed the convention of using an uppercase ‘D’ in the word Deaf to indicate ‘Culturally Deaf’ and a lower case ‘d’ to indicate hearing loss.
At the centre of all of our work is an understanding of and respect for sign language, the Deaf community and Deaf culture.
