Maureen Doyle, of Southport, set up Practice Makes Perfect to raise deaf awareness, introduce the Manual Alphabet, and provide easy sign language lessons to help local people and organisations, giving them the chance to learn and practice these basic communication skills.
Practice Makes Perfect was formed to provide people in the Southport area with the opportunity to develop communication skills in a friendly informal atmosphere.

- to reduce frustration and isolation
- to improve general communication skills
- to raise awareness of deaf awareness and lipreading skills
- to provide informal opportunities for the learning and practice of sign language
