HELP is available for Warrington residents suffering from hearing loss during Deaf Awareness Week.

The week continues until today and aims to increase understanding about different types of deafness by highlighting the different types of communication used.

Peggy Sanson, from Great Sankey, has received support from the new team so she can hear her telephone, TV and smoke alarm better.

She said: “I was delighted with the service the team provided.”

The new team offering help is being run by Warrington Borough Council.
