About Us

Who are we?

Our background

Standish Lipreading Society has supported hard of hearing people for the last 20 years with an enthusiastic and dedicated committee and the valuable help of funding from Wigan Adult Services grant aid.

Our Aim

Our aims are to help the hard of hearing people in the district, to prevent them being lonely, isolated from the rest of the community and improve their wellbeing. We are a vibrant group and enjoy the benefit of a qualified lip-reading teacher each week. Why not sample a session, you may be very surprised as to how enjoyable our sessions are!
