Hello i have a friend who has a sister who is deaf. she is very low at the moment and is looking for groups for her sister to attend for support, interaction and friendship. Does anyone know of any groups running at the moment.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

Thank you

think there should be something at Voluntary Action Sheffield, the Circle on Rockingham Lane www.vas.org.uk

Try DASS http://www.deafadvice.org.uk/move.htm

How about the deaf clubs in Sheffield, she could get to meet lots of people there, make new friends and find support or have access to information she might need
