The Breakthrough Trust was a registered charity, which provided advocacy and advisory services for the Deaf, and supported various initiatives and projects to advance the inclusion of Deaf people. It helped develop better telecommunication services such as text phones during the 1970s. The charity had offices in London, Birmingham and several other locations, and maintained a number of regional groups. Since 2002, it has been known as deaf Plus.
