Our main activities are: • Information, Advice and Guidance • Advocacy • Employment & Training • Personal support and development • Deaf Awareness Training • Lipreading and Hearing loss rehabilitation • Equipment assessment and fitting • DeafBlind support • Personal Budgets and Brokerage Our organisation is experienced with an excellent track record in working in Employment and Advocacy Services.

Thank you for your kind words Mark Pearce. You are an extended part of the deafPLUS team and we are very grateful for all your support.
Just had a business meeting with Reg Cobb the CEO of deafPLUS to discuss the amazing work both he, and more importantly, his team have been doing, building a business network to help aspiring entrepreneurs who happen to be deaf. Reg is such a positive character and an inspiration to me and I felt it only right that we, as a business community on LI, should help wherever we can to promote, assist and enable entrepreneurs. I am a proud business ambassador to DeafPLUS and I urge anyone who can help this wonderful organisation by joining the scheme to do so asap by contacting Heidi Nimmo Your contribution to other lives will reward all involved, thank you all in advance.
