Deafness Support Network (DSN) was created in 1974. Trustees of the Chester and North Wales Society for the Deaf and of the Warrington and District Society for Deaf People made a landmark decision to form the Cheshire Society for the Deaf (now operating as DSN). Following a reorganisation of local Government structures, DSN became the service provider organisation for D/deaf people in the county of Cheshire; its districts; and in the unitary authorities of Warrington and Halton. Since 1st April 2011, DSN creased to provide Social Work & Technical Services in Halton & Warrington; yet continues to provide a wide range of services across Cheshire & neighbouring areas of Flintshire & Salford.
Our vision is a world where D/deaf people can communicate & live healthy, independent & fulfilling lives.
Our mission is providing services for D/deaf People across Cheshire & surrounding areas.

I love DSN's values and ethos which puts deaf people at the heart of all they do. I gain a great deal of satisfaction from matching volunteers to roles that enables them to share their existing skills.
