Sense

Deafblindness refers to a combination of sight and hearing impairment which causes difficulties in a range of areas including communication, access to information and mobility.

At Sense we offer high-quality, flexible services across the UK, using skilled staff and a dedicated network of volunteers. We work with a wide range of people who are deafblind or have sensory impairments, as well as those who have a single-sensory impairment with additional needs. We have skills in complex communication, orientation and challenging behaviour.

We take pride in offering services built around the wishes of each person we support and enabling them to be as independent as possible. We have a range of direct services from breaks and flexible packages of support through to registered care and supported living. We work with children, young people, adults and older people with a progressive sight and hearing loss, offering a range of housing, educational and leisure opportunities. Sense supports people of all ages to achieve remarkable things.

We also offer support to all deafblind people in both the congenital and acquired deafblind communities, not just those who receive direct support and services from us.
