The UK Council on Deafness created Deaf Awareness Week to increase the visibility of challenges the deaf community faces, communication needs and educate others on how they can support them.
If you are Deaf or have a hearing loss and wear hearing aids, live in the borough of Bury, aged 18+ and struggle to be alerted to or hear things around the home, you may request a hearing assessment for information, advice or equipment if needed, by contacting Bury Council’s Connect & Direct HUB 0161 253 5151 or email: connectanddirect@bury.gov.uk
Or if you want to try a piece of equipment before you buy, please make an appointment with the Inclusion Officer 0161 253 7512 or email l.csaba@bury.gov.uk
