Short profile:
Today, the charity supports more people with a combined sight and hearing loss than ever before and its pioneering services continue to go from strength to strength. With a central Head Office and conferencing suite now based at the flagship National Centre for Deafblindness in Peterborough and regional staff throughout Britain the charity’s doors are always open to anyone wishing to learn more about Deafblindness and the lives of deafblind people. These lives are epitomised in our Heritage Exhibition which was kindly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and contains the complete history of deafblind people dating back from the time of the Venerable Bede to the present day.
Detailed description:
Deafblind UK is a national charity offering specialist services and human support to deafblind people and those who have progressive sight and hearing loss acquired throughout their lives. Our aim is to enable deafblind people living with this unique disability to maintain their independence, quality of life, and reduce the isolation that Deafblindness creates. We offer a comprehensive range of services which include the provision of contracted services with local authorities to enable them to meet their obligations under Section 7 Guidance. Deafblind UK’s vision is that people who are deafblind or have a combined sight and hearing loss should have equal rights, access and opportunities as all other citizens within society.
