The third Tuesday is dedicated to knitting with the Knitters Anonymous Group. For details of the Lip Reading and Knitters Anonymous groups please contact 01420 83514 kaddando@gmail.com
The group aims to provide a relaxed, friendly meeting place where the hearing impaired can meet and not be pre-occupied with their hearing difficulties.

Amongst the activities provided over each month are regular Lip Reading practice sessions with a qualified tutor, craft afternoons, a chat and support meeting and a monthly meeting with an invited speaker.
