Sense

Sense is a national charity that supports and campaigns for children and adults who are deafblind or have sensory impairments.

Sense offers high-quality, flexible services across the UK, using skilled staff and a dedicated network of volunteers. They 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. Sense also has skills in complex communication, orientation and challenging behaviour.

Sense offers services built around the wishes of each person they support and enables them to be as independent as possible. With, for example:

• respite and flexible packages of support
• registered care and supported living
• housing
• education
• leisure opportunities

Sense works with children, young people, adults and older people with a progressive sight and hearing loss. Sense also offers support to all deafblind people in both the congenital and acquired deafblind communities, not just those who receive direct support and services from us.
