CENTRAL ENGLAND LIPREADING SUPPORT TRUST
The Charity's aim is to promote Lipreading courses for people who have hearing loss. Our activities include raising funds in order to ensure that these courses are able to run free of charge, so that all deafened people can attend, regardless of means. Other activities include promoting the courses, so that we can reach as many deafened people in the Coventry & Warwickshire areas as possible.
