Our history
We've been supporting hearing impaired children, young adults and their families for 50 years
The “Jersey Society for Deaf Children” was first established in 1972 with the aim of assisting children suffering from deafness or impaired hearing.
In 1992, the name was changed to “Jersey Society for Deaf Children and Young Adults” and the Rules of Association were also updated to enable the charity to extend its support to this age group.
It became clear in 2010 that the charity’s name was too long and difficult to remember. Therefore, it was decided to adopt the shorter and more memorable: “Earsay”.
