If you or someone you know is living with sight and hearing loss, we’re here to help. We are here every step of the way to reassure, advise or just to be someone to turn to if there is no one else. We provide practical help, emotional support, help with technology, information, advice and even holidays to anyone who needs it.

We exist because too many people are living with deafblindness and are not getting the help they need. We show people that there can be a life beyond deafblindness.

Our vision – is to create a world where people living with deafblindness thrive, empowered by knowledge, support and equity.

Our mission – is to enable people living with deafblindness through holistic care and assistance, pioneering research, transformative education, influential advocacy, and innovative technology integration.
