Reach Deaf Services

Reach Deaf Services is a non-profit charity enabling the Deaf Community and Deaf people generally to achieve their full potential and to have equality of access and opportunity in all aspects of their lives.
Reach Deaf Services focuses on the areas of education, social care, pastoral and spiritual work.

The Catholic Institute for the Deaf (CID) was established as a charitable institution in 1845.
In 2007, the name changed to the Catholic Institute for Deaf people (CIDP) and in September 2021 we rebranded as Reach Deaf Services.

The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Archbishop Farrell, is the President of the company and appoints one third of the Board members, including the Chairperson.
