The lipreading tuition is free.  If people want to continue to come on a weekly basis then they can be asked to become a member of the society in which there is an annual fee of £10.  This covers the expenses such as liability insurance and other out of pocket expenses.

People can just turn up on a Monday at Standish Community Centre at 12:45pm.  It finishes at 2:45pm.  If they require further details they can contact Olwyn Preston the Treasurer of Standish Lipreading Society on 01257 424249 or email Wendy Worthington the lipreading teacher at worthingtonwendy7@gmail.com or 07840703458 (Text only).

They should expect a warm welcome and to meet other people with a hearing loss as deafness can be isolating.  They will receive information from the teacher on how the class is run and what to expect.  There is a break half way through the session and tea and coffee is provided by the community Centre for a small charge.

People are welcome to come along and see for themselves.  There is no pressure to continue to attend if people decide it is not for them.  There is a car park at the community centre.  The centre is close to a bus route that runs from Chorley to Wigan.  The lipreading class caters for beginners at lipreading and for those who are more experienced,
