Activities of organisation or services provided
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 people living with this unique disablity to maintain their independence, quality of life, and reduce the isolation that Deafblindness creates.
We achieve this through campaigning, education and the provision of practical and emoptional support via independent living teams, personal communicator guiding and interpreting services, rehabilitation support, adaptive equipment to assist with daily living, a volunteer befriending service and a free telephone Helpline providing information, advocacy and guidance.
