About
Sense
Imagine
if you were to suddenly lose both your sight and hearing tomorrowow
would you begin to cope?
You
wouldn't hear your alarm clock or see the sunlight streaming through the
window, how would you know it was time to get up? Imagine if you had a
deafblind baby, how would you communicate with it? Where could you turn
for support?
For
the UK's 23,000 deafblind people, and an estimated 250,000 elderly people
with some degree of combined hearing and visual impairment, everyday tasks
can be very tough.
But
with Sense help, thousands beat the isolation which deafblindness can
cause. We also support the families and loved ones of those effected,
by offering advice, information and access to services.
Sense
is the UK's leading charity campaigning for and working with people who
are both deaf and blind. We provide an extensive range of services around
the country, from early assessment of babies, to education and holidays
for children and adults, supported employment projects training, to homes
and communicator guides to enable older people continue to live in their
own home by helping with tasks such as shopping and dealing with post.
We
also provide advice and information for their families, carers and the
professionals who work with them.
Our
aim is to ensure the best possible quality of life for deafblind people
of all ages, enabling each person to reach their individual potential
and live as independently as possible.
All
proceeds from these auctions go to helping deafblind people |
